Gnome Introspection.

https://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/

Its basically like Corba, Com, Java introspection, or whatever.

Except its better imho, because its pretty lightweight, not obsessed with
network marshalling like corba, not tied to a particular plattform like
com, and not tied to a particular language like java introspection. (you
can poke holes in my statements, but its more or less true). Also GIR is
a Gnome project which is a Gnu project, so a good fit for Emacs, no?
