Yes. Particularly during the transition period. I kept all "legacy" code
inside easily greppable macro checks so that it's easy to remove old
code when it's no longer needed.

I'd argue it is: I'd expect xml::node(xml::node::text("M&E")) to write
"M&E" into the file. Or maybe throw, but certainly not write "M"
silently and pretend everything is fine. I have similar expectation from
xml::node::set_content(), but that one may be less clear.
