I meant specifically the way the interface is to be used by the end
programmer, ignoring its implementation for now.  This would mean
moving to more cffi-like idioms: removing the implicit
ownership-tracking logic, not guessing too hard about which overloaded
function is meant to be called, and so on --- generally "explicit is
better than implicit" and if the end programmer needs to expose some
library in a simpler interface, he can use a Python layer on top of it
(or write his own).  So this would end up somewhere slightly different
than where cppyy is currently.


A bientôt,

Armin.
