Hi all,

First thanks for your reactions. It indeed sounds like that having
some ABI changes makes it way cleaner, and way more efficient.
I must admit I am not a huge fan of the stop-and-signal way to get
that information anyhow, so provided your answer i'm pleased to see
that we don't have to go to such an extreme solution.

Thus i really keep looking for that feature, which i do believe can be helpful.
Regards,
Cédric
