I'm not sure how else to do this. The current implementation returns char *, which doesn't translate uniformly into the PLs. More sophisticated implementations--a tree or forest structure including ANDs and ORs, etc.--are even less uniform to translate into PLs, at least as far as I can tell. The way I'm looking at it, this could be added onto SPI at varying degrees of sophistication, but there would still be PL-specific bindings for it, each of which would involve a PL-specific implementation effort. What big things have I missed here?
