Hi Vladimir,

I am following this with interest. I try to keep all references to the
hardware in one file or set of files so that even toggling pins becomes
a function call. If speed is needed then the entire function is taken
out of the main code and an API designed for it. While in some case
speed may suffer and then exceptions are made, in general the ease of
porting to different h/w is made much easier.

By their nature interrupt service routines are in this 'h/w' category.

If you find / develop a good 'standardised' concept that does not cause
total bloat it would be really great if you could share it here.

Regards
Rocky
