  If this is requested by the project so I do agree !!!

  Hum the latter might be infinitely be discussed since in my
  opinion a object oriented code is more understandable that a

  Sure I could but it is not so comfortable for me ! Anyway if
  I want to contribute to a project I have to follow the scope
  of the project and not only my own opinion !
