I'm confused, I thought that was the idea :-/
I considered that it would be too burdensome to put the layer
identification in each symbol defined by the library. I also believe
that to have a unique namespace (i.e. pdf_) will also lead to a better
design by improving the global coherence of the abstractions
implemented in the several layers.
