Can't try out a solution right now, but generally you'd have to write a 
"IVvR" function that internally calls the old implementation, as an 
alias frontend, so to say.

Or (if the implementation has changed significantly too):
Write a new "internal" function and write two "interface" functions with 
the desired old and new names that _use_ that internal function.

Good luck
