I think most users will not notice the change. I have tried to be as
compatible as possible with previous versions, but there are some corner
cases where the new implementation behaves differently. This is
intentional, as the new implementation tries to fix "conceptual bugs".

The new signature of Pxp_reader is slightly different, but I hope this
does not matter for anybody.
