I do believe that using the new foreign interface is much better than
SWIG (otherwise I wouldn't have invested the time...), but even if you
do use SWIG...  The "foreign interface" has this name rather than the
common "foreign function interface" because it deals with more than
just functions.  It is possible to access raw C data through it, and
this can be done even when you use some additional C extension (eg,
one that SWIG generates).
