It might also be worth looking at the Microsoft version of CoreFoundation.
They ported SwiftFoundation, which is permissively licensed, and replaced their
earlier approach that wrapped Objective-C in C (as CoreBase does). I’ve not
looked at the code, but when I was in Redmond a couple of weeks ago the
Islandwood team were much happier with their new version than the old.
