I think the comment is more related with [wrapper-free interop](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/8327) like in [zig lang](https://ziglang.org/#Integration-with-C-libraries-without-FFIbindings).
For people like me (mere human -no pro-dev- ;oP ), a feature like this would make plenty of libraries suddenly accesible. I have tried (and failed) to wrap a few libs myself. I agree that nimterop and company are great and that they are becoming even better. But it would be really nice not needing them.
