If the consumer needs the text representation, they will call

(thing-at-point 'foo)

If they need the "real thing", they will call

(foo-at-point)

which we really expect to be defined.

Which is again entirely backward incompatible, right?

Why do you think so? This is the normal usage of thingatpt.
