Hello,

Do you have any plan to have RubyCocoa include some of fundamental
APIs but you cannot access via Frameworks such as mach_task_self() ?

I have written a couple of classes like smc.rb and smb.rb, and they
are based on ioservice.rb as you can see at
http://n.h7a.org/hacks/rubycocoa/.   (okay, it might not look like
Ruby code and I am an embedded engineer.)

Those utilizes IOKit APIs so, I made up myIOKit.bridgesupport for it
as silly hack with big hope of that BridgeSupport will support IOKit
sooner or later ;-)

But even if it starts supporting IOKit, it still needs functions like
mach_task_self().  The above example uses mach.m to implement it but I
wonder if this could be a part of RubyCocoa so that I wouldn't need to
provide anything but *.rb for those IOKit classes in the future.

What do you say?
