It's just the general software rule, seperate interface and implementation, abstract operations in a relatively unchamging interface.

It's already clear, different people want different minimum frequency increments in their interfaces, and it's a given of open source software that everybody and his brother will have a different idea for the "ideal" (for them) interface.

If you provide a consistent, well documented API, we'll have less code duplication, and greater ease to swap or mix interfaces.

You'll be providing an excellence service if you provide a bullrt-proof implementation layer. Then demostrate use of that API with your default interface, implemented in terms of your API.
