Ok, "upper layers" may get a handle via .get_reader/writer. The downside is that they would have to get (void *) and pass (void *) down again. I wanted to avoid that (taking into account that it's a singleton).

The point was to avoid (void *)'s and save users from transferring pointer as a handle. No matter what, the decision is not up to me, discussion indeed welcome.
