I think Marton's mail gives a reasonable example.

As for me, I do not know exactly what is needed, this is one of the
reason I did not want to draft the proposal myself. This way seemed more
future-proof, but it can be discussed. Also, I thought our AVCodec
structure were const, so putting the field there would have been
incompatible with run-time CPU detection, but apparently I was wrong.
Still, I do not think codecs are supposed to modify it.
