Yes. gf_set is main entry point to the GF functions. If I change the
name I can make the old gf_set to be available but it would print a
message that it is deprecated and the user is encouraged to use
gf_set_data.
The GF package is still work in progress. (In the next days I will
commit some new stuff.) And it is not part of the official
documentation. At this time there is only a pdf in share/gf. So I
think changes should be possible.
