I've read some of the discussion on the mailing list, and I find Tom
Lord's arguments regarding deficiencies of the SRFI draft quite sound
(disclaimer: I recently had a look at and did a little bit of hacking
on Pika, Tom Lord's scheme project).

Regarding G-Wrap: it would certainly be a plus to be more language (or
C Scheme API) agnostic. Incidencially, I just started an experimental
branch of G-Wrap, in wich I'll try to come up with a
language-agnostic, GOOPS-based design for G-Wrap and then build a
compatibility layer (offering the current wrapping API) upon it. The
project is currently in the draft phase (but there is already a
g-wrap--tng branch in my archive; tng stands for "The Next Generation"
;-).

Cheers, Andy
