I'm sorry, but you will need to take a different approach.
@Paul: Thank you for your feedback. It makes sense and I understand. @Stanislav: Despite the fact the implementation was smaller and reusing more code, it looks like we cannot go in the direction you suggested. Do you think what Geliang suggested before in his v3 [1] can be accepted? (Note that the v3 is the same as the v1, only some fixes in the selftests.)
