   Most XCMD/XFCNs written in 1.x will work with no problems in HC 2.0.  Only
Xs that relied on the internal format of HC 1.x or the format of a stack will
bomb out.  In fact, I still write XCMDs with the old 1.x includes (since I
haven't written anything to take advantage of HC 2.0's new features).
