I made a dStr_dstrcat().
What's the main advantage of it, over dStr_append_l() ? I see the convenience and clarity of passing two parameters instead of three, but on the other hand, keeping APIs reduced to a functional minimum, helps to remember and to choose the right function call. There may be a point I don't yet see... -- Cheers Jorge.-

Understood. My point is there're other places in dillo where a more formal API definition is needed, and I'd like to know whether there's some theory or guiding experience that could help. -- Cheers Jorge.-

After some investigation I chose to honor "minimal" in this case and committed the equivalent using Dstr_append_l(). With regard to entry_status()/is_cached(), I'm trying to find a good trade off between "minimal set" and "obvious meaning from first code read". ;-) BTW, I found good summary advice on API design here: http://blog.isnotworking.com/2007/05/api-design-guidelines.html -- Cheers Jorge.-
