Adding a new parameter (with a default) is an ABI break, but you can
overload a method, which is "just" an API break for everyone doing
references to this method (aka: nobody).

We have a bunch of classes which are of no use for the outside world,
but were still exported and so needed to preserve ABI/API. Marking them
as hidden to not export them any longer is a big API break in theory,
but in practice nobody is using them – as if they would its a bug.

We can't add a new virtual method without breaking the ABI, but we can
freely add new methods, so for older ABIs we just implement this method
with a dynamic_cast, so that clients can be more ignorant about the API
here and especially don't need to pull a very dirty trick by assuming
internal knowledge (like apt-get did here).
