Hi Alex,

Speaking as somebody who is currently using cppyy to build a Python binding

that moving cppyy in that direction would be a substantial step *backwards*,
making cppyy substantially less valuable and useful. Please don't do this.
no, that's not the plan. The two approaches can live next to each other.
I agree that there are a few areas where cppyy could be better at
*allowing* you to be explicit if you want to
Right, but I've never found an occasion where a C++ helper did not resolve
such problems. And with Cling, these helpers can be embedded (CFFI-style), so
that may be enough of a solution. (Dunno, is a matter of try-and-see.)
Btw., just to show I have some code (and to allow anyone to comment if there
are any takers), I've checked in some code that is the first step towards a
Cling backend. Is still far from functional, but I have to start somewhere.
Best regards,
Wim
