Well, you got a point here.  Parsing Glade's XML files would be a good 
way out, especially since we could inspire our parser by clg's ;-)

What is RAII?  I'm afraid I fail to parse your question, sorry.

FWIW, foreign objects are allocated with foreign-allocate and freed with 
foreign-free (or something the like).  with-foreign-object encloses its 
body with calls to allocate and free the foreign object.  There is no 
such thing as a clos destructor.  You might look into finalizers, which 
are related.
