I think we should keep testing the unprefix methods as Compat provides a few ones (which do not return nothing).

But they return nothing on 0.7. In fact this block of code does not pass on master.

Ah, OK. Should probably have a version-specific test then, as long as we provide these methods via Base.findfirst, etc.

What is the point in providing Compat methods which do not behave like 0.7 though?

should extend the Base functions. I think we should deprecate those and require Compat.find* such that people have the 0.7 behaviour w.r.t nothing?

I don't get it, now we basically just provide another 0.6 interface to those functions. So the options here are 1. deprecate those to Compat.find* methods or 2. add the same methods but unexported that return nothing. I definitely think we should go with 2. It is very confusing to provide findfirst(...) and Compat.findfirst() with the same signatures, where only one of them have 0.7 behaviour.

Doesn't 2. already work?

Yea you are right, it does, but I still think it is confusing. The Base extended methods are only useful on 0.6, at which point you might use the 0.6 syntax (e.g. with search and rsearch etc.)

Yes, I'm not saying they are really useful, but that deprecating them is more trouble than it's worth.

Fair enough.
