Maybe "generic" ? Anything ?
The idea was to have a "RedCharDeviceClientOpaque" pointer with
RedCharDeviceClientOpaque as a typename so you could have something
like

#ifndef RedCharDeviceClientOpaque
typedef struct RedCharDeviceClientOpaque RedCharDeviceClientOpaque;
#define RedCharDeviceClientOpaque RedCharDeviceClientOpaque
#endif

in char-device.h

I have a follow up that uses RedChannelClient as RedCharDeviceClientOpaque
instead.
But I still not decided the future plan but this way I can change to
RedChannel without touching RedCharDevice. There are parts of the code
handling multi-channel while other parts are broken in this respect.
Personally I think multi-channel does not make sense for this object.
Also token handling is broken (unlimited queue) and only used for the
agent.
I started splitting the agent which seemed to make more sense.
It is getting into shape and I think it would help defining what to do
with RedCharDevice. But time is scarce and progress is slow.
