This is a first pass, let me know if you like where it's going before I dig deeper.

Does this mean that we'll add a channel_type to our accept message even there was none in our peer's open message ? If so it looks like a spec violation ?

Yes, we always send back a channel_type. It's not a spec violation, the only thing the spec requires is:
- if it sets `channel_type`:
- MUST set it to the `channel_type` from `open_channel`
If it wasn't set in open_channel, we're free to do what we want, and it's an odd message type so it's always ok to include.

But then it will be ignored, so what is the point ?

It doesn't hurt, is future proof, and we don't have to manage an option?

Also, it can be viewed as "FYI I'll be using that channel type"?

Exactly, it's simpler in the flow to always use channel_types internally, because otherwise you can't as easily distinguish in this piece of code the case where no channel type was sent and the case where an invalid one was sent (it would need a bit more code).

I guess that what bothered me is that it's not "symmetric" (we set it but they did not) but it does work.

I've put some test improvements on branch https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair/tree/channel-types-pm.

Add support for lightning/bolts#880 This lets node operators open a channel with different features than what the implicit choice based on activated features would use.
* ChannelType contains a set of features * TLV doesn't expose the feature bits directly * An unsupported channel type class is explicitly added

Add support for lightning/bolts#880
This lets node operators open a channel with different features than what the implicit choice based on activated features would use.
This has been tested successfully against lightningnetwork/lnd#5373
