Comment (by robe):

 Forgot to add, strk has a pull request to at least catch this kind of
 stuff in future in our upgrade script.  For very popular functions, we
 should not drop old signatures (or at least consider cautiously the
 impact).  We should instead add new ones to augment them.

 Things that require drop:

 Add a new function that introduces default args that would conflict with
 existing that has no default args, (such as the gridSize case)

 Changing names of arguments in functions (we've done this before and it
 broke some stuff, I forget which function that was).
