One comment on inheritance in cplusruby:

   def self.inherited(klass)
     # inherit properties and c_methods
     self.properties.each {|k,v| klass.properties[k] = v}
     CplusRuby.registered_classes << klass
   end

Re-opening a parent class after a child class has been defined and 
adding more properties will not propagate them to the child. And you 
can't simply add such properties to the end of the parent and child 
struct definitions, since that will make them incompatible (in the sense 
of casting).
