I did not ignore your input.

You wanted two changes:
 - Bonobo-native API
 - ability to store CORBA_any

We discussed this at length. I told you it could be done as a
wrapper. Why couldn't it be done as a wrapper? And what other features
did you want besides these two? Because you didn't mention them to me.

I asked why it wouldn't work as a wrapper over and over and over. And
you had no answer, you said you were doing a wrapper.

So what is the answer? Why won't it work as a wrapper?
