Also, The C++ binding is not just the generated headers, there is going to be a EINA-specific C++ API and more classes that will help with MVC and other helpful abstractions that aren't attainable with generated code. The generated C++, though, gives a type-safe layer and makes evolution easier and safer as EFL evolves.
