True. But I also want to finally get rid of the remaining warnings as well,
and I think most if not all of them are due to how the API is made (mixing
object and function pointers mostly) so it would be a general cleanup too.

I would also work on getting tid of all the #define macros used in the public
API and make sure all the advocated symbols are actual function.

Those are changes that aren't terribly important, but they are cleanups I want
to do and that I cannot do without a SONAME bump. This said, I've not yet
started on any such work and if more intersting/important work appear before
that I think we can easily postpone this cleanup.
