Hi Ben!

While - as you already assumed - there are no commitments to any API &
ABI stability yet, the interface should not change very much. I have a
single set of API changes in my queue that we discussed while
reviewing the C++ bindings and I don't expect there to be many more
coming after that.

Again: this is an estimation, not a promise.
