We reimplement these CORAB C servers in C++, but just call the existing
servers in the implementation. It's repetitive, but generated [1]. Then
people can do what they like in derived classes, using regular C++
inheritance. I don't know if that's solving the same problem as yours, but
it sounds similar.

[1] It might also have performance problems, but I don't care about them
until I see them.
