OK, makes perfect sense. We would need different dummy functions for each 
different parameter though, such as:

void dummy_void_void(void);
int dummy_int_void(void);
int dummy_int_int(int);
int dummy_int_pint(* int);
...

And where should those functions be placed? We could create a new file 
probably in lib_generic for this. I suggest we postpone this consolidation 
until after the next release though.

Best regards,
Stefan
