We can always make mistakes... but we do try to guarantee that we
don't break compatibility in this case, even in the 4.0.x series.

So far, as far as I know, 4.1 can use any BC-compiled object generated
by 4.0.  However, we don't want to really promise that we won't break
this in the future, as we might find some reason that we can't keep
this working.

Our hope is that starting with 4.1 we can guarantee compatibility.
