An integration attempt w3f/apk-proofs#31 immediately showed a number of API deficiencies:
1. Though to produce an evaluation proof, the prover doesn't even need to compute the evaluation... Notice (f - f(y))/(X - y) = f/(X - y), where '/' stays for "get the quotient" as deg(f(y)) = 0 < 1 = deg(X-y). ...in most usecases prover has to supply the evaluations. So it make sense to make open to return the evaluations together with the proof, or provide a separate convenience method.
2. In a similar vein, the combinations of polynomials are usually committed before generating the proof, so open can take a list of combinations.
3. CommitmentScheme trait that both commits and verifies isn't practical as e.g. in KZG verifying an opening requires less parameter data than committing to the polynomial.
4. Implementing AdditiveCommitment for GroupAffine likely requires a wrapper.
5. 3rd party crate can't implement ShplonkTranscript for merlin Transcript.
6. fflonk verification expects evaluations as a vec per an opening point (root), while shplonk -- as a vec per a polynomial. E.g. let have f and g opened in x and y. fflonk represents evaluations as [[f(x), g(x)], [f(y), g(y)]] vs [[f(x), f(y)], [g(x), g(y)]] in shplonk.
