(only in PRs)

• Symbol versioning is correct for breaking changes
• ABI/API changes are forward-compatible (breaking backwards-compatibility to add additional symbols is fine)

• [x] Function parameters should use enum types instead of boolean types wherever sensible
• [x] Wherever possible, function parameters should be const
• [x] Wherever possible, return types should be const
• [x] Functions should have the least amount of parameters feasible

• [x] Functions should do exactly one thing
• [x] Function name has the appropriate prefix
• [ ] Order of signatures in kdb.h.in is the same as Doxygen
  • [ ] move below keyGetRef()-family of functions
• [x] No functions with similar purpose exist

• Memory Management should be handled by the function wherever possible

• [x] Function is easily extensible, e.g., with flags
• [x] Documentation does not impose limits, that would hinder further extensions

• [x] Function code is fully covered by tests
• [ ] All possible error states are covered by tests
  • [ ] test for null pointer return value
• [x] All possible enum values are covered by tests
• [x] No inconsistencies between tests and documentation
