Research direction

Locate the *InstancesBinCompatN traits and the *SyntaBinCompat definitions, then inspect their corresponding *Instances traits and type classes. The refactor is complete when the binary-compatibility instances and syntax are moved into those main definitions without leaving the compatibility traits separate; the issue names no tests or files to run.
