would be nice, but before we change this we should figure out if the python
API is actually correctly handled right now and in sync with everything - my
guess is that it probably isn't.
As for the actual change: I'm not sure it really gives us a lot of
benefits. it'll likely break any existing users (if there are any) for
little more than a cosmetic change. otoh, we just bumped the ABI anyway, so
if we do this the time is now (together with any others we need to do). I'll
leave it up to Benjamin to make the call.
Cheers,
Peter
