I think that would require some refactoring. I would add patches that
are fixing this. Have there been reasons for using the pairs ? I'm just
curious.

Yes, it's very unlikely to happen. Anyway, I'm dropping the support for
the caching and with it this function.

Not that I can think of. Maybe how they are represented on the
