We've done the general version since you suggested that just doing it for int is a bit lame ;-) And I actually agreed so asked Jani to look into that. http://mid.mail-archive.com/87r46gywul.fsf@rustcorp.com.au "If this is a good idea, you can write a macro module_param_unsafe_named which is a general wrapper."
