Yup, I think that's fair, and thanks for wading through my mails.

I'm not sure whether separating the C object mapping into another
library is necessary or not; could go either way. To me the important
thing is to separate it "conceptually" (have the dependencies flowing
in the right direction / have the lower-level bits work by
themselves). I could also see a phased approach where the binding
helper stuff is finished and API-locked before the C object mapping,
but that may not be useful.
