Gecko has this now for DOM interfaces, mostly. It's a noticeable performance and memory penalty, especially as features need to be added, due to the way it's implemented right now on top of C++ vtables. As Benjamin mentioned, we will most likely stop doing this by default for the core DOM interfaces. Someone could still provide a stable ABI in some form of C++ binding, but it's not clear to me that we plan to do that ourselves. Patches accepted, probably. -Boris
