That would work, be less intrusive, and allow all existing code to work unchanged. My only concern is that it does not go anywhere towards fixing the buffer interface itself.
I think that is a different issue entirely. While it may be interesting and important, can we at least try to keep them separate?
I don't see how. The only problem I see is in the buffer interface. We could worm around the buffer interface problem in the buffer object, but I don't see how that is keeping them separate. Am I missing something?
Well, there are two things people complain about a) the buffer INTERFACE b) the buffer OBJECT are the issues plaguing both the same? I wasn't under the impression they were. It's entirely possible I'm wrong, though. Cheers, mwh -- [1] If you're lost in the woods, just bury some fibre in the ground carrying data.
