I don't consider the items on the TODO list to be past the "adequately
discussed" stage.

To the topic at hand: I find reversing the argument order is going to
silently break a lot of applications. Removing the syntax altogether
could be a reasonable choice, but since it doesn't hurt anyone right now
I'd prefer an advance notice for one release.
