  Yeah, sure that's something I would like to add. I'm still pondering
between keping the header mostly as-is or trying to refactor it as
internal routines in xpath.c . But that doesn't touch the APIs and
isn't security related so was slightly less urgent than everything else
so far. I will definitely look at it :-)

  BTW do you have a git commit for 2.9.0 preparation in lxml now ? I may
forward this to the packager for Fedora.
