I agree with you, there is no need to have both methods. I sent all my 
modifications to you, hoping you choose one of them to merge in the repo.

We need to change our checker scripts depending on the method you 
choose, once it's done I prefer the second implementation.

I'm very sorry about the incident with the dictionary, I hope any system 
will be seriously affected by the introduction of that tremendous bug in 
the code.
