As explained in the commit message it's the first baby step to this direction. But sure, when I have more time I'll continue. In any case I think this change is good on this own as it shows the use inside the header. The people who want to have an example of the use may wrongly take the existing code as "good to go" and this even might pass the review somewhere. That said, it's not only reducing the use, but has an educational purpose as well. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
