Do you mean that we are going to introduce "configure" with a new, 
possibly even with a completely incompatible syntax, but "using" will be 
left without changes for backward compatibility? I wonder if it's 
possible at all. I thought we were going to break syntax compatibility 
for both using and configure, and configure is just a new name for using.
