+- Implement gras_datadesc_cpy to speedup things in the simulator
+  For now, we mimick closely the RL when on simulator, which is not needed.

-  gras_ddt_new_ignored : Pas portable (taille) => virer cat?
-  Necessaire aux pointeurs sur fonction? Renomer 'void'
+- category "ignored" should be dropped, since it's not portable (what's its 
+  size on remote site?). But function's pointer may benefit from it.
+  We could change it to an attribute just as the "cycle"  one. That way, it 
+  would get malloced, but not transfered.

+- datadesc_set_cste: give the value by default when receiving.
