If you prefer a precedent you can compare with rdtgroup_schemata_write()/rdtgroup_schemata_show()
that is directly referenced in res_common_files[] while the implementation can be found in
ctrlmondata.c that is intended to contain the "Cache allocation code".

I assumed we agreed on this since I specifically highlighted the topic of the handlers in [1] and you
responded to referring to the handler event_filter_show() and mentioned that you plan to consider the
others. This version thus looks different from what I thought we agreed on :/
