Thanks for the update; with this changed, I no longer object to this 
implementation getting merged.

I still don't agree that it is the most elegant solution though, but I 
think this may work for you if you think this is your preferred way 
forward, and it no longer defines any common interop behaviours that I 
disagree with.

I'll comment separately on the updated patch.
