Yes, but from what I understand this (extending in the target
language) is important when you want a complete port to the .net
environment. The idea is that you can extend the library in any
language of your choice and not merely write it in C++ and wrap it.
I just wanted to mention that there are similar issues when generating
the wrappers to any of the currently supported languages.
cheers,
