I'm asking these questions because I suspect both changes break with older versions of Allegro but I can't test it since the express edition 7.0 is no longer available. It's probably not a big deal but I'd like to at least try to maintain compatibility.
There is no :foreign-address type in Allegro 8.1?
It is a very strange idea that there ever would be such a type. . .

Why are you ignoring this patch?
A delay of 3 days is hardly an abrupt dismissal. Furthermore, I do not believe your response that I have quoted addresses Luís's concerns about backward compatibility.
