When I wrote the original email, I realized that we can't support too
many of these as the
complexity will soon be un-manageable. I'd prefer to see the
setString be the default behaviour, but at this point it's an
indefensible position. Do we have documentation as to what is or
isn't "compatible=7.4" ?
