Thanks, that looks great. I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed in the
state of ruby/C integration - another basic thing I missed is the
ability to define a typemap and then have a ruby class
serialised/deserialised to a C struct. (Is that what Cgenerator's
CShadow is all about?). Are these not common use cases?
