It would make the SMSC-code from within the wrapper more equal.
Not that it is so important, but afterwards the step to a
single modular API is easier. By making everything more equal
an API more or less surfaces, since the access to certain parts
are then always the same.
OK, one could say design a modular API and then enforce it,
but that requires the same kind of study on the code/functionality
and the change must still be done.
This is also why it could be that some patches of me look like
'why is it needed??'. It does not change/fix functionality, but
merely move parts of code. That is correct, but it has a goal
of ending up with a more modular package.
Whether it is worthwhile purchasing this long-term goal I only hope
it is worth my efforts.
However, this patch is for all the old wrapper SMSC code
which are likely to be dropped. Is it still worthwhile applying...
Hope this clarifies it,
