Agreed, but that's mainly because I'm using UFFI for packet-capture
and drawing graphics which can be pretty intensive :)

Maybe at a later date, once the current interface is pretty stable, a
somewhat more convenient interface can be added.

When using an FFI one is in C-land anyway and I think it is the
responsibility of an author using that FFI to provide a convenient
interface to the users of his package.

Erik.
