Comment (by seanegan):

 Both the C API and the Perl bindings.

 This change as-is would break about every plugin and UI ever written,
 requiring us to bump the version up to 3.0.0. What we typically do when we
 want to add a new parameter to a function is to create a version of that
 function with a "_with_foo" appended to it, keep the old function
 signature the same, and have it call the new function with a default value
 for the new parameter.
