That's not cool, but certainly an alternative.
The coolness is in that code was that you don't need any "special" bindings
for accessing low level C calls. In fact I think far to much emphasis has
been placed on the need of thin bindings. Concentration should rather be
made on "frameworks" (which POSIX bindings may perhaps also be included, as
cross platform was in mind) and tools that abstract the C interfaces and
work in a more Ada like nature.
