This is most certainly the far better interface, but so far we've tried to
have only one way to do a certain task with the IIO userspace ABI and try to
live with our mistakes of the past.

And while this is the better interface I don't think it is that much better
that it justifies the ambiguity that is introduced by it.

Adding a new interface makes only sense in my opinion if there is a
significant improvement in either usability or performance.
