Sounds good to me.
If we want to have backwards-compatibility AND to change things in a
tabula-rasa way, we could establish a new "file type" (perhaps just a new
filename extension eg.: .pd2) and then .pd files would be parsed with the
old logic and .pd2 files with the brand new logic. Dunno if it actually
makes sense, it just came to my mind now.
