I have this problem with SWIG; whenever I wrap C I think "Hmm, this
time I could learn how SWIG works, which I don't really know how to
do, but if I learnt would probably save me time in the future -- or I
could just mindlessly bash out the C".  And so far, have always
plumped for the latter.

The Not-Invented-Here effect in miniature.

Cheers,
