Well, yes, these two functions could then be ripped out, but the callers would have to do the error checking on their own. Of course that's not a bad thing per se, but it changes the currently used concept. > But I will let decision for API to other people as I do not know what > the best API to use here... In order to avoid delaying this any further, I'll post a v2 soon and hopefully it'll be good enough for your Acked-by. If it turns out more people have misgivings about it, I'll adjust the code. -- Best regards, Michał Kępień
