We've replied and discussed on May 5th what that roughly should be,
right when Matthias pinged us. The original submission unfortunately
fell through the cracks (it happens, not much we can do with this
flood). Matthias didn't seem to have any questions about the proposed
solutions (we laid out both the minimal short-term fix to unconfuse
things, and what might be done on top), I think a reasonable
assumption was that it's all clear. Otherwise he should have asked.

Now, over 2 months later (and complete silence from your side) there's
suddenly mass panic and multiple escalations on all available
channels, which feels like a rather decent overreaction and not a
terrible constructive way to collaborate on the upstream codebase.

Anyway, I've done the quick draft for the function declaration changes
that would clear up the confusion, just needs a clang run to update
all the parameters to match, and passed that on to StÃphane Marchesin.

I expect you to follow up with the corresponding patch right away.

Thanks a lot.

Yours, Daniel
