I am willing to make a patch for your bindings to ease integration of this
patch. Would you mind explain what exactly in this patch makes the
automatically-generated bindings cry ?

The problem with the approach you suggest is that it is going to require you to
propagate the interface id from a subclass up to the base class: if there are 2
or 3 intermeditate classes, this is a lot of work.

Another problem is that this patch is the base of a larger set of patches which
aim at improving/adding features to the Object framework.
