I thought it was pretty good.
In any case I think the moral is that we shouldn't bother writing a

except a couple of papers I am finishing off with RD.

Naming conventions: Long_names_with_underscores or CapitalLetters?

Can someone (Ewan?) post an example IDL illustrating how we can use glib
(e.g. hashtables) with IDL.
