We have registration/unregistration functions for providers:

dat_registry_add_provider
dat_registry_remove_provider

Consumer's use 

dat_ia_openv
dat_ia_close
dat_registry_list_providers

Is this what you mean?

The dictionary is implemented with a simple linked list. We could 
look into collapsing the code in api.c, dr.c and dictionary.c further.

What do you mean by provider vs provider_info? Are you suggesting 
adding the information in the dat_provider_info structure to the 
dat_provider structure?
