The docs are pretty clear, I imagine a great lot can be done with these
C bindings, thanks!

I have a question I wanted to ask for a long time - are there any plans
to support C++? Using a database of classes/methods/arguments, I could
replace the whole 25Mb generated Qt bindings with a single library that
generates bindings on-the-fly. This is just a dream, but I hope there is
a faint chance of it becoming true :)
