By the way, I very much like the conventions used in the GnuTLS bindings. The enums in particular make a lot of sense for a security library, with the extreme type safety they provide. I will pursue a similar approach. One question. With the current state of FFI, do you think it matters much whether the bulk of the bindings are done in C or FFI? Regards
