Exactly. I don't care if some other language decided not to expose the C
api those language bindings happen to be using. That wasn't my point. My
point was that a language wishing to use those bindings to provide an API in
Ruby or Perl, need only *use* that one *we* provide; the person implementing
that interface in whichever language they've chosen can do whatever the hell
they want.
But until we decide to do it that way, it's a little moot, and it would
require some thought and design.
Great for a project for GSoC I'd say, because thankfully I've plenty of
ideas on this. :P
