Panda3D had a highly reflective layer on top of the C++ stuff which
allowed them to inspect and construct the proper interfaces at runtime.
John Sarkela did this based on top of the FFI (this project was the
driving force for the FFI).
I don't recall the specifics but I think Panda exported all its stuff
using C bindings and hooked this together via the FFI. You should ask
John for the details.
