C is not fun to write by hand and these bindings are 95% mechanical. I've been writing everything by hand but have made a couple mistakes in the translation. It's also hard to make sweeping refactors to improve some of the APIs because of the sheer amount of code in the library.
I'd like to automatically generate as much of the library as we can, ideally from C or a C-like DSL. This is a stab at doing that in kind of a cursed way, through Rust macros.
