Comment:

 Thanks nikkolasg! I think we are almost there! Some syntax and naming
 issues in this but overall I believe we have the right idea.

 Now, I'm going to defer this one for 030 for two reasons. First, this has
 lots of changes for something that is quite core to many subsystems. I
 would like to take more time to think about the changes and test it before
 directly going into the next stable in a month or two. Second, we have
 other tickets open for this whole API and would be a good idea to assess
 the other baseXX functions to make the whole thing somehow "uniform".
 There are some changes here I believe we might want to take for the other
 functions.
