Robert is totally right here, re the 'wiki way'.  Just do it, rather than talk 
too much about it, and relax.  It's easier to fix later.  Just like in python, 
use try/except rather than if hasattr :)

Again, many thanks Robert for getting the ball rolling here.  We can always 
update this if we need, add more pages, etc.

Frédéric, feel free to keep this as the 'official' doc on this subject, and 
update as you have conclusions on all the points.  Once this settles, I'll use 
the wiki as a guideline to document all these new features in the manual, 
which is critical for them to be useful to people beyond you.

Best,
