I tend to disagree (slightly). "Programming" is sometimes all about using 
the "right" data structure, and if we could use those VTK data structures 
(and the according methods) directly in the wrapping language it would help 
porting to C++ thereafter (for those that are using Tc, Python, etc. to 
prototype their app, and I guess there are many of them).
