The last time I looked at your C++ tree, there were no accessor
functions and d-pointers, but members listed in public headers.

And unless I have missed something, you are not designing with non-dpkg
distributions in mind (which I meant with multiple distributions).

I may be wrong about the library thing, though.

OK, I was just asking. I should already have regexes for everything. The
problem with regexes is just that they can look very similar, even if
not copied (I hate copies anyway).
