Sorry for that, but it just seemed too complicated. Perhaps there should really be a script to do this? I could imagine I'm not the only one slightly daunted by these files...
There's seems to be no reason for changing the docs since the functions are documented as existing :)
I didn't add the other functions that one might expect to exist (get-/set_byte and others), since I don't really need them.
I tested this code under 7.4 since that's what I've got here, but imagine nothing much changed in this end of the world for 7.4.1...
