I reiterate: not even device drivers written in C use TWIs. (Well, at least not quality drivers. :))
A finite pool of N devices is still a unique resource. Ultimately you have to contain the problem locally with a modular solution, or all the unique state handle "buck passing" to higher levels (via who knows what intermediate modules) takes you all the way up to main. This is technically feasible, but highly un-modular and certainly not a desirable characteristic of any programming language (at least not one whose use I would advocate). Regards -- Adrian Hey
