I had a bit of a look at the Python stuff & tried to take a
reasonably similar approach - hence the similar objects
defined in each API

Yeah, when I say complete API coverage, i was really refering
to bits aimed at application developers. So I didn't expose the
low level binding oriented APIs such as set_data, merely used 
them in the XS code as intended.
