Approaches: modification of standard and extensions

Determine whether it would be feasible to modify and adjust APIs as needed, including functions signatures, object-management model and so on; if modifications are not feasible, new extensions could be created which address safety issues.

Start by reviewing the standard and the existing API and object-management guidance in this project; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare modifying function signatures and the object-management model with creating safety-focused extensions, then document a feasibility decision with its scope and rationale.
