Comment (by garyc40):

 OK, perhaps I should have explained a bit more.

 - Providing backward-compatibility is not hard. I already made enough room
 in this patch to support backward compat. I'll update the patch in a
 couple of days.

 - Creating a new tag button (equivalent to `new ed_button()` in the old
 approach) is basically similar function call, just replace edButton() with
 QuickTags.TagButton(). The argument order is the same.

 So in short, when you look at it from outside, the interface is basically
 the same. Only difference is proper namespaces.

 I shouldn't have chosen the word "harder", but instead  "more advanced",
 since this new API allows devs to create new button classes that suit
 their needs. For example, custom buttons that have a custom callback that
 displays a lightbox etc.
