Definately not! But if flush() was appended to the structure, then
people had only to recompile their drivers and all would be fine. So
there would be no silent failures in that scheme.
...
So please explain where the benefit of placing flush() in the middle
is?
So that people don't "only recompile their drivers" and the driver
code actually get updated and fixes done by or sent to the maintainer!
