I have some questions about the typing system now (I am modifying it for mount 
points).

Are key flags used anymore for anything else then KEY_SWITCH_NEEDSYNC? If a 
value is set can be easy checked if value is NULL, isSystem and isUser is a 
strcmp in fact, and the bits are not useful. Same with user domain.

The use of directory is now very confusing.
Directories now are able to have a value and comment. So they must be allowed 
to have a binary value too. But I can't see any way to make that possible 
with the typing system now, because if it is a directory, it can't be string 
or binary!

If we make it the other way round, that (binary or string) keys can have 
subkeys, there is no easy way to find out, if there are subkeys in there, or 
intend to be. The implementation of backends will also get hard, because you 
have always be prepaired that subkeys will follow or need a routine to 
convert.

Can you explain your ideas on that?

thank you
