Yes. I confer to the general idea. However in the year 2013, work 
was done in JNI to do this autowrap. However, now I insist that 
we should use JNA for it.
Secondly, also I wish to give you an idea for D programming 
languages to include algorithms like e.g. -  quick sort for 
arrays or binary search trees e.t.c.so that the language can be 
used by competitive programmers(as it is fast) making it more 
widespread.
Kindly give me your views. If yes, I would like to work upon it.
