Mike, the all idea behind the proposed ib_at calls is to provide
semantics matching between IP and IB in a way where the applications
wont feel the difference, but will still make use of all IB
capabilities. Advanced applications can still use the advanced IB
specific functionality through the optional parameters.

ATS is just a minor option in the API (the less important one)
