Why so much happyness ? This is disturbing ! More serious question,
why not the more usual '$' or '${}' or '$()' ? Not a big fan of this
custom to EFL marker. $ sounds more used and understandable by
everyone I think.

This is something people may ask themself or never even look at what
it is, but you who like short name so much, why bother with V at all ?
I find it confusing and we are going to handle all our PATH through it
anyway. So why not just PATH ?

Ok, I was guessing this should actually either be a property of the
main loop object or be related to it with parent/child relationship. I
will look at fixing that part when I go later on at mainloop.
I am actually thinking this could be a good use for promise. The main
loop would return you a promise to an Eina_File directly and we can
extend Efl_File to get an Eina_Promise. So you would do :
efl_path(main_loop, &promise_file,
"ssh://[email protected]/~/bork.secret");
efl_file_promise_set(image_object, &promise_loaded, promise_file);
And this would do everything asynchronously for you (I find it quite
clean and neat, but that's maybe me).
