Oops, the info argument was always the plan. I somehow messed up the 
prototype. Thanks for catching it.

We did have a detailed discussion on whether we can predefine some info 
arguments, but there was no consensus. So we decided to leave it as 
implementation specific. If you have any ideas, please feel free to 
propose them.
