Using "old" quoting on an "old" box will also break things, and worse
than either of the two above.

The only way to avoid breaking things is "new" quoting on a "new" box.

	"old" + "old" gives you: much damage, but damage we are used to.
	"old" + "new" gives you: less, but different, damage.
	"new" + "new" gives you: no damage.
