Adding two different type names for the same thing is confusing. This patch series makes things much more confusing, or rather confused even, to me. And I happen to be the author...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">Le 20 août 2018 10:21:38 GMT+03:00, Steve Lhomme <robux4@ycbcr.xyz> a écrit :<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
