 Hello

 Replying to [comment:6 stephen]:

 > That's what I call optimism :-)  But seriously, I'm surprised that there
 is no fully-supported C++ binding it it were that easy.

 It's always optimism to say that it does what it is designed to do, but
 it's easier to say than „it handles 94.6% of the rest“ ;-).

 Anyway, the reason for not having C++ bindings is that actually, dbus is
 mostly for desktop and desktop applications which are written using a
 toolkit. Both Qt and glib have good bindings, but they are close to the
 philosophy of the library and I don't think we would like to start using
 Qt in BIND because of that. These days, nobody really writes in plain C++
 (at last not for the desktop).

 The comparison between alternatives can be done under #765.

 Yes, it makes sense. OK.
