You can yes.

Not sure it is exactly a bad thing in itself.

Though the mechanism proposed in this patches "solves" it all and more fmpov.
The goal here is to provide one implementation agnostic interface that behaves
as similarly as possible whatever the implementation is, the goal being to hide
encoder particularities to the end user. What you describe here is not
fulfilling those the requirements fmpov. What is your concerned about the
proposed approach?
