This will allow for additions to these data structures.

As you know we need to be extra careful when including new functionality in the OTP base, so we might need to go another round with OTP Technical Board. So to avoid wasting time it might be a good idea to give us a short description of the design (including API) before implementing the details and we will give you feedback as soon as possible.</div><div><br></div><div>/siri</div></div></div></div>
