[vtkusers] C++ introspection (was raw buffer access in Tcl)

[John Biddiscombe]

I'm trying to cut a release right now. It's going to have bugs and be a bit
cranky, but I'll do my best to upload something tomorrow or the next day at
the latest. There's a couple of things I left half finished that I don't
want people to see :) I'm too ashamed to release it before tweaking it a
bit.

Hi again..

I wondered Is this c++ RPD of John's is available anywhere? I tried
searching to no avail. I would be interested in taking a look at it if the
source is available.
