Indeed. Apologies for any aggressiveness that I might have appeared to set

To balance things out a bit: DStep does some stuff that Bindgen just doesn't
even tackle. I am finding I am having to do some manual stuff with Bindgen.

Wilco. But I'll try and create test cases rather than just point at the full
project.
