BTW one of the reasons that I have not yet completed this project 
is that I don't have a handle on where the current C++ 
interfacing work is going and don't want to work on something 
only to have it made redundant. Also, it has to use a hack to 
work around the lack of weak references and if the GC is changed 
to relocate objects then it will break this aspect of the code.
