Hi Poul-Henning, you were asking for comments on your idea to have a "wildcard-ish scheme" for accessing backend-specific information from a VCL.
IMHO, the following problem exists: Wenn a VCL is added, the semantics of something like b1() changes (when the new VCL defines a different b1 than the existing VL), and an old but active VCL might not know how to handle more backends than it defined itself. For the default case, I think it is important that, within a VCL, only those backends are visible which were defined within that VCL. Should backend polling become controllable from a VCL, having some special notation to access other VCLs' backends might be useful.
