I see how this is source incompatible and also behaviorally incompatible in a few cases, but how is this binary incompatible? I think you're right as there wouldn't be a linkage error. This thread reminds of Joe Darcy's classic blog on compatibility kinds: https://blogs.oracle.com/darcy/entry/kindsofcompatibility
Yes I stand corrected - no "binary compatability" issue.
