No. Soon I will need a method which can give me nmwg objects from a 
string. So far we've had a method which returned objects representing 
only one tag name. I've added a method with the same name, but with 
different parameters, which can find objects of not only one tag name.

If you are using that older method then nothing has changed for you. The 
change will not generate any error.

Such changes only improves already existing things. They do not 
introduce new features or big changes.

answer: just to improve what we already have and remove existing 
limitations.
