OK, we will.

Sounds very good to me. Changing API calls wouldn't be the end of the world
though. I think inevitably there will be a point in time where we have to move
to liblouis 3.0 because we can't keep deferring backwards incompatible changes
and adding new versions of functions. (I'm thinking for example about the
typeform argument which may not be big enough for all the different UEB
styles). We can then take that opportunity to do a major API cleanup.
