Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you ... but if you do that, then all  
existing source code would fail to compile because declarations would  
not be visible in the headers they are including now, but they wouldnt  
be including the new header they need.

I want current code to continue to compile and work with no changes,  
but to warn developers that things are going to change before the next  
stable release.

It is, and it's where I would expect most method declarations to move  
to eventually
