Wrapper for backwards compatibility

Hello,

I am considering writing and releasing a module to implement a
backwards-compatible filter just like the idea proposed by schwern at 
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=60348

The dilemma is what to call it. My initial thought was something
like ExtUtils::MakeMaker::BackCompat which, if somewhat on the verbose
side, is at least descriptive.

My question really is do you think that such a wrapper module should
live under the ExtUtils::MakeMaker namespace without being bundled with
it? Is that:

	a) a great idea
	b) a terrible idea
	c) meh ...

I welcome other suggestions of course and will pop this on PrePAN as
well.

Thanks for reading,

Pete Houston
