   * Re-examing and possibly re-implement signal-glue and API -glue code.
   * Give .NET Purple objects the ability to actually update their C counterpart (or create one).
-    Possible solution:  Every api Object thats mapped to a purple object would inherit from Object.cs.  Object.cs would have a !IntPtr pointing to the C structure (or null if this is a "new" object). Object would also have a sync() method which is responsible for updating the C struct its associated with (or making a new one and then populating it).
+    Possible solution:  Every api Object thats mapped to a purple object would inherit from Object.  Object would have a !IntPtr pointing to the C structure (or null if this is a "new" object). A potential constructor could look like:
+    {{{
+    public class Object {
+        private IntPtr _c_structure = null;
+        Object(IntPtr struct) {
+           _c_structure = struct;
+           _updateFromStruct();
+        }
+    }
+    }}}
+    And base classes could be responsible for implementing _updateFromStruct().
   * Right now delegates are invoked and just given an array of their data.  Would be nice if we could explicitly state what they expect, e.g. {{{ OnBuddyStatusChanged(Buddy b, Status s) }}}
