I am not sure if this is not a premature over-engineering---I am not convinced that such a future need will be fulfilled by passing just a single default_fn this version already passes, or it needs even more parameters that this version does not pass yet, and the interface to the function needs to be updated at that point when you need it _anyways_. One thing that we all agree is that we don't need the extra parameter within the context of what the current code does. So, it smells like a case of YAGNI a bit, at least to me. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
