Is there such a thing?

[Taylor Hillegeist via Digitalmars-d]

So, In languages like .net they have dll's that contain not only 
bytecode but also the necessary headers to make them usable in 
any .net language. I was curious if this kind of thing has ever 
been attempted for static libraries?

basically some type of universal header + static library = 
Everything Needed to use in project file.

of course they would be targeted for a certain platform but would 
be really easy to grab/use.

And if the header could be agreed upon any compiled language 
could use the library which would be a huge benefit.

Perhaps i'm incorrect in my assumptions. Let me know what you 
think about the idea?
