Right now it takes a lot of error-prone manual effort to keep bindings in sync. We do generate some glue like enum declarations, but this is tied to custom scripts, and lacks some important capabilities like forwarding documentation. We should explore using a proper IDL for better generation with much less effort.

An adjacent project uses https://djinni.xlcpp.dev/ for this, which is an option to consider.
