Hi all,
finally I followed the suggestion of Adrian and Martin which seems to me the
most correct.
I was not confused by the Envelope meaning I just wasn't sure about the
GeneralEnvelope meaning and kind of use.
I fully agree with Martin approach, the GeneralEnvelope should reamin as
much general as possible.
Alessio.
