Now I'm getting the picture. The original accessor functions (class
members) should be defined inline so they get inlined in their C
wrapper. Those class members must be defined in the header then, in
the class body, as the wrappers may be in another file.

I was thinking about simple getters and setters for single values and
for passing array pointers. Code duplication wouldn't be a problem in
that case.

Thanks.
