I really prefer to hide as much as possible from I totally agree with you on that. > day 1. Maybe the structure can be split to two? Currently IIO has a I also thought that keeping some internal header might provide that safety. When looking into it, I didn't see an obvious and somewhat elegant way. Even more, I got a better picture of why Bjorn named the current approach "unergonomic". I got some ideas which look doable in my time frame. I will try going the full route, after all. I'll start with some cleanup in some minutes. Happy hacking, Wolfram
