You _can_ write an Objective-C binding using CObject (as in, it's been 
done).  The painful part is converting NSArray <-> Array and NSString 
<-> String.

However, nice-looking bindings will always have a part written in C that 
will be VM-dependent, which is why I put this project last.  It is much 
less useful than it looks.
