Yeah, this will happen. GBDE is the first user of what can only be
described as a very green config-API for GEOM classes.
One idea I have almost convinced myself to implement, despite its
unUNIX like nature is to include a char erortext[256] in the request
package because the idea that all errors have integer numbers gets
old really really fast with the rather complex conditions some of
the GEOM modules test for:
return (EYOUARESHRINKINGAPARTITIONWHICHISOPEN)
I think not :-)
