If I remember correctly, this is not going to cut it: I think I had to
change preview-latex to use the new interface since the old interface
was not supported at all any more. It was not just a matter of
renaming variables: I also had to change other stuff.
There is probably no sense in declaring a variable an obsolete alias
if it does not even work! I think we should add a compatibility layer
with the old interface (can't be much more than three lines or so)
that we'll remove with 23.1 or so.
