This document should contain proposed API changes that should be done
before the 1.0 release.
If you see a problem that needs attention, or have comments, put it down
here. These are just suggestions.
- Gtk2::Pango->scale... unlike C, perl has no problems with floating point,
so it would be very normal to represent the fixed-point pango values
as normal perl scalars (5100 => 5.1). This would need to be done everywhere,
so we need to be sure that no generic interface (get) exports these.
Rationale: fixed point is just a specific representation for an abstract
value space. Pango works in fractional device units, and, while a
natural representation for this in C is a scaled integer, the natural
representation in pelr would be a scalar. Plus, the current perl api is
already quite unlike C (no PANGO_SCALE constant but a *method*), and
looks quite clumsy even compared to C.
