The "loss of flexibility" is in the API itself. Once one function is 
introduced it is difficult to modify it or remove it.

This is pretty misleading and not very useful. It does not recognize the 
first character, but the whole image. In fact it always fails, after 
performing expensive recognition, if the image contains more than one 
character, and OCRAD_result_chars_total must then be called to see if 
this is the case.

No thanks! First thing I remove from a project are macros. :-)

By the reasons given above, I guess it won't be demanded at all.
