> I still find the remark about the parser-level `get` being maintained for backwards compatibility strange (and it is eight years old), could this be improved? How? Parser-level `.get()` predates mapping protocol access and has an incompatible API. Thus, we need to leave it as is, otherwise we'd break existing code. Use mapping protocol everywhere in new code and you won't see those issues anymore.
