I should explain myself - any attempt to change Denemo's internal
representation would be fraught with danger, we should consider it
fossilised. Treat it as a dangerous wild beast to be tip-toed around.
Wrap it in a thick blanket that has a friendly exterior and hope it
never bites:-)
I am serious, though. The code frequently makes tacit assumptions about
details of the implementation which you would never track down. All we
need is some wrappers around the data structures to return a
well-documented representation of the data.
Question, which would be the well documented representation to choose?
