This interface change in 4.7/4.8 gem series really makes no sense. question mark methods usually implement a read only method... File.exist? for example makes sense does the file exist does not change the file. Breaking compatibility in 5.0 also seems unnecessary what is the performance/usability improvement?
I realize this is a rant... but I'm faced now with updating thousands of lines of code and i think it will be easier to just fork.
