Good to hear! I guess I agree with you.

Since I'm new to this thing of adapting a C API to the Objective-C/ 
Ruby paradigm, I think I will try my first wrapper around the  
Spotlight API. Just a quick question: what should I do with C  
constants? Should I maintain them? Alias them?

My plan is to make public version of the wrapper, ask for opinions,  
learn, rewrite, ..., profit :)
