Lots of ways to do it, e.g.:


1. add a new api with a new name
2. change code to use new name
3. drop old api
4. add new api with old name
5. change code to use old name


or we can stop after 3, it's not too hard to come up
with a slightly different name.

Since all you are doing here is dropping an argument,
other hacks may be possible such as making the function
use variadic arguments temporarily.
