How should software developers build stable tools if they should depend on
undocumented details?

I guess that there are still a few design options available for a later
reconsideration. I imagine that parameters could be added for the API 
configuration.

I have got the impression that participation from other mailing list readers was
relatively low so far. I would also appreciate more opinions that will be shared
here explicitly.

I would prefer that the observed data type conversion will be only performed on
explicit demand. I assume that this implementation detail is in the usual
competition with other planned features which have got a higher development
priority already.
