No.  Stop that. Please.

Whoever came up with the idea that an incompatible modification to an 
existing API entry was a better idea than adding a new one?  Our 
terminal API layer is expressly *designed* to support adding new 
terminal entries with very little hassle.  A change of signature of an 
existing API call is orders of magnitudes worse than just adding a new one.
