I see. Well, let's not worry about it too much for this if it's a major 
pain. The Internet does suggest we could use runtime loading (i.e. make 
two classes, as you said, and then load them at runtime depending on 
what version we want), but that's something we can bolt on top of the 
current code when time allows.
