There is this struggle between automatic complete bindings and manual, thick 
good-looking bindings... I'm a fan of completeness and automation, but it's 
difficult to get bearable results (case in point: SWIG). I'm curious about 
the binding you get with your translator. Is your binding available 
somewhere?
