No need to apologize. I also should have been more clear about what I meant by strong interoperability.

I think that having really strong interoperability requires both directions, but the being called from C is the one that is more restrictive on fancy types.

Unfortunately, C is C, and we all know what that means. Anything that achieves true type safety in both directions in going to be a monstrosity on the C side. Lots of boilerplate, marshalling of types, etc.

It all starts to look like COM, lol. Take care man.
