Thanks, that email plus Roland's comments clarifies the design and it
makes sense.
I just wish there was an easier way to review incremental patches
against a design document.
My expection would be:
* Create a Projects section on the wiki.
* Create a page under Projects called "Enabling cross-rpcgen"
* From that page reference the relevant emails and constraints.
* Post the URL to the design page when posting patches.
That way I can review all the past discussion on the topic and the
general idea before reviewing the patch.
Cheers,
Carlos.
