Uhm, I really don't know what HCPP pattern is, but surely the backends
are completely decoupled, that is, you can just provide an
implementation for aegis and that's it. Even the two parts that
compose a backend, as a "source" and as a "target", are completely
unrelated, and any of them may be missing...
I don't know what Peter ment, nor what he has checked to desume that
2*n classes floating around, but I'll gladly explain/correct whatever
is needed.
Let me know,
ciao, lele.
