Is it not more valuable to have interfaces that are appropriate to  
the individual languages? A perlish interface isn't necessarily a  
pythonish interface - and neither of them are likely to be anything  
like the C or C++ interface to the same functionality. Well, apart  
from fairly simple APIs - in which case it seems moot.
