Yes.  Sure.  And the original proposal was to add a new API with a
mem_flags parameter.  You proposed to add the same API, but without the
mem_flags parameter.  You did not explain why.  I still assumed that you
have some reason to propose it.  I assumed that reason must be some
problem which would be introduced by having the mem_flags parameter, and
which would be solved if we instead drop it.

It seems that you are either unable or unwilling to explain your
reasons, so I'll just go ahead and drop my assumptions.  You never had
any reason and there never would be any problem.

Thanks.
