I don't argue against this as I in fact have the same opinion.

This discussion started because I noticed the MemPool API had exploded
with many things quite internal and very specific for the
implementation. In such a situation looking thru the code and try to
make things more isolated/layered is the proper thing to do. Then when
it has been reduced to the minimum a couple of API points probably needs
to be introduced to get the full intended functionality or to clean up
to heavily overloaded functions (the memPoolClean is an example of such
function overloading)
