John: Good question.
I think the main thing that could useful for some people is to produce a quasi-scripting language to use gsl (i.e., approximate matlab ease of use, for example). So, basically, introducing a number of overloads, etc, to make using gsl via C/C++ very easy. Loading matrices, saving them, etc. I tend to think the usual proficiency of C/C++ coders is enough to use gsl as is. Just a thought.
