Breaking the interface means changing the semantics without introducing new syntax. For example, if x is int[10] and you decide you need 20 of them afterwards, you say "x2 is int[20]" and you throw x away. Afterwards you have to accommodate the code using x, which is now undefined, to the new semantics. The fact that x is undefined is helpful because you have a smaller chance of overlooking something.

Doesn't renaming the .value property to for example .files also break the common interface? Frode
