 > If we want to drop support for that, we should make sure we're doing so
 intentionally, and that it's well-documented in the release notes. IMO, it
 should also go into a major not a minor.

 Good point, I agree. I think it's fine to drop support since all the
 examples (from which people are hopefully copy/paste/modifying) did not
 use numeric matches. But that is indeed a change that should be
 highlighted in a dev-note. I'd move this to 4.9.
