again, to reiterate: that has nothing to do with *this* API, whose sole
exclusive one simple and ONLY purpose is:

1) to extract state
2) to compare state.

the issue that you raise is relevant... it is juat not relevant to *this*
bugreport, and therefore should be discussed elsewhere so as not to cause
a distraction to a new contributor.
