Well they did it in Rails, but indeed at a level rather higher than
the raw FFI. Which is the style of interface I'm headed towards. I did
a lot of Rails work in 2k7 and slowly grew to be quite annoyed with it
- the ideas are fairly sound, but the execution really stinks. So I've
been slowly re-implementing it in Larceny/Gambit as I've had the need
for my own work.
