Reading the V11 spec, I noticed lots of changes that seem to affect
applications programs.  For example, the mouse support no longer
assumes three buttons arranged left-to-right;  instead it simply
provides for mouse buttons named "1" through "5".  Thus, I would
expect that I will have to edit some of my applications to change
"RightDownMotion" to "Button3Motion".  Some of the names of the
abstractions have also changed, implying that the subroutine bindings
might change too.  In other cases, subroutine argument lists have been
significantly modified (e.g., XLine).

Am I correct in my assumption that V10 applications are incompatible?
Or is there perhaps a compatibility library?
