What's your opinion on moving the inlined functions out? Would it create
too much of a performance hit? I'll look into SWIG.
The primary problems I had using the header files in my XS project were to
do with macros conflicting and the stream classes conflicting. Would you be
able to provide any tips on preventing those conflicts? I'd love to just be
able to say "#include Searcher.h" and be done with it!
