Ah, this is definitely a good point I did not think of (because in many 
extensions we deal only with record UIDs anyway). Thanks for the 
clarification.

In the light of this thoughts it might be a good idea to make clear for 
which cases the GRSP is a must (which then could lack some flexibility), 
and in which cases it is preferable (as in chc_forum) to still use a 
starting point (or multiple, with recursion, etc.).

My (possibly false) impression was that there was a general trend 
towards GRSP and the starting point was silently deprecated.
