We had a wrapper (the old TS CPP API), and we removed it. Why do we want to
have yet another wrapper now? What's the difference?

Also, I don't like to have libswoc stuff in the API. Using it internally is
ok because we can replace it anytime but having it as part of API is a huge
commitment.

A wrapper could be provided separately as an independent library. Then you
can make any changes anytime without waiting for ATS releases. If it's
convenient, plugin developers will use it, and they won't if they don't
like it for some reasons (instability, use of libswoc, etc.). One might
make a better wrapper. I don't see a reason to have such things as TS API
and maintain it by ourselves. IMO, TS API should provide minimal things
which can be only done by API.
