hm, this means that you tell users only how to switch to the old frontend, but once they have done so, they (now) won't get told (anymore) how to switch back, again ... ... maybe not that handy --- and for XQuery, the "old" backend is both still available and still required for some functionality ... Hence, IMHO (1) "-G" / "-g" and "\G" / "\g" make only sense as pairs, i.e., to switch back and forth, i.e., removing one does not make (much) sense; and (2) XQuery still requires both for the time being. Thus, if we don't need either for SQL any more, we should remove the documentation (and functionality) of both switches only for SQL, but not for XQuery --- and if we do so, we should do this everywhere, i.e., not only with mclient, but also with Mserver/mserver5, MonetDB.conf/monetdb5.conf, Mtest.py and the wbe site --- well, lacking branches, the latter can only be done once we have a new feature release in about 3 month from now ...
