Hi Romain,

Yes, meanwhile I also have a board using addresses 0x7c and 0x7f.

This handles only part of the risky addresses. I once worked on a device
having an EEPROM using 32(!) addresses in the range from 0x00(!!)-0x1f.
And yes, because it was the only device on the bus, that actually worked.
So, the lower boundary should also be removed IMO.
And I'd much prefer a flag like 'R' which represents 'risky' better.
Thanks for doing this!
Wolfram
