Originally, I didn't know if any language other-than-python implemented
plugin writing. Worse yet, I've (until recently) always assumed that
they only wrapped the application API, not the plugin API (I know
there's a gray area here, but you get the point I'm trying to make ;) ).
I noticed the python chapter so just assumed it aws the only language
(ignorance ;) ). If there's more languages than just python implementing
plugin API: please add them here, with some specific notes (if needed),
general references to information on the language, maybe some simple
plugin example code, that sort of stuff... It's currently a chapter on
python, it's probably fairest to make it a chapter on bindings with a
sect1 on python, a sect1 on guile, a sect1 on ..., etc.
