I'm saying that you would oppose the additions of the fetch*() family and you are talking about the same thing. I do not understand what you mean by a 'core component' though, as we didn't even start talking on the design of the wrapper. For all I know it's going to be just 1 class ;) > Finally I never said I will do the entire thing myself.

I guess he thinks this would be the best way on this occasion, but I disagree. > I also said that I do not like the fetch*() functions because I don't > think there is a need for them next to the get*() functions.
