This is just perfect!

As you said, the purpose of this crap is to provide the
smallest possible amount of C code, and the ros functions,
in the lack of existing functions which model this (good, that
they don't exist!), are just modelling the dumbness of what
the C code needs to do.

This is of course not meant as an interface for anybody, but
a simple model that explains the C code in terms of Python.
