Dan implemented a solution for normal users, not for library
developers: if they run `convert-ly` on their input files, everything
will work just fine – they get warnings, but it will compile.  Your
special situation, namely to write a version-agnostic library, is not
covered by this.  AFAICS, it is not possible to satisfy both
situations at the same time.

It is an inconvenience, yes, but I think that taking care of normal
users is more important.
