Well, efficiency in a sense that a wrapper will wrap, meaning one level of
function calls more, beside the fact that virtual functions in C++ are
slower than their "C" counterparts.

But thats not really an issue. The main issue is just who is interested
enough in having a C++ interface to write such a wrapper, or extracts the
existing code from Gem (giving proper credit !), bundles it up, documents
it, maintains it ...
