I have a question regarding the APIs, in the past there was a way to
initiate scanning without name resolving, and I've been through all the
new API and couldn't find it. Is this going to be removed? I had found
it as a nice feature, specially when you are in a very crowded area and
you want to discover a device from which you know some stuff like the
bluetooth address beginning.

Cheers,
Manuel
