We should prove now to came on such things to a solution for everyone. I think 
to split this information is a very good idea. But the custom types (like 
self defined KDB_COLOR or sthg), should not be dependend if it is a string or 
binary.

That means, that a user defining his own type system cannot brake sthg (e.g. 
that he defines it to be a Folder or link)

Is access the right word for it?

I agree here too;)

I think the problem in doing this is more backend related then the small (but 
existing) API changes. Thus there is only 1 backend really mature, should we 
risk to add a new feature?

I will do that!

We should also concentrate on make check and on testing daemon and patches.

thank you
