I ran into some trouble trying to use one of the more "advanced"
functions with the Perl binding a few years ago and got stuck trying to
figure out how to pass a required parameter.  I've not looked at things
since and the bindings input file to Swig is largely unchanged, as I
recall.

It's quite possible that the only thing that is broken is me!  That
said, they are not documented at all for the various languages.
However, if someone is really interested and submits some documentation
for a given language, I'll see to it that the submission is applied to
the tree and included in the source distribution.

That is true, most of the backends only support the minimal
functionality needed by most programs.

That will help us a lot.
