The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.
This document should contain proposed API changes that should be done
before the 1.0 release.

If you see a problem that needs attention, or have comments, put it down
here. These are just suggestions.

- Gtk2::Pango->scale... unlike C, perl has no problems with floating point,
  so it would be very normal to represent the fixed-point pango values
  as normal perl scalars (5100 => 5.1). This would need to be done everywhere,
  so we need to be sure that no generic interface (get) exports these.

  Rationale: fixed point is just a specific representation for an abstract
  value space. Pango works in fractional device units, and, while a
  natural representation for this in C is a scaled integer, the natural
  representation in pelr would be a scalar. Plus, the current perl api is
  already quite unlike C (no PANGO_SCALE constant but a *method*), and
  looks quite clumsy even compared to C.
