Hi,

I guess you don't actually have those written down, but on the
off-chance, would you be able to share any major pain points?

We do try (admittedly far from perfectly) to avoid implementation
details in bindings, but driver mdoel details are fairly difficult to
pin down either way. It would be nice to be more aware.

Thanks,
Mark.
