Indeed, that's what I proposed in my first mail.

What I thought though is that the signature of a function in a SIGNAL macro 
must match exactly, but apparently that is not correct. Did that change at 
some point?

So then this is not source incompatible at all.

That leaves us back with me asking for objections to making these changes.

I expected someone might make an argument against it for a reason such as 
that it adds too many options to what you can implement in QAIM or whatever. 
If that's not going to happen that's good.

Thanks,

Steve.
