Re: \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration warning on LilyPond 2.25.23

Thanks Valentin, I will definitely use it in my code.
But this API change leaves me a bit perplexed. It's the first one I've
encountered since LilyPond 2.19.84! For this reason I am crossposting
this message with the devel mailing list.
Why has forward compatibility not been ensured for this function?
