Why?
We can provide a generic QMP dispatch interface that high level
languages can use. Then they can do fancy dispatch, treat QErrors as
exceptions, etc.
We just ought to also provide some simple C wrappers for all of the
functions. Yes, the C interface is inferior to the generic interface
but that's fine.
