as you say to, having wrappers at both the perl and xs levels is nearly trivial.

you would just change the xs function name from func to _xs_func (or anything
that makes sense to you), make _xs_func call the appropriate c function with a
CODE section, and then add func at the perl level that in turn calls _xs_func.
(that didn't come out as simple as it actually is)

the inline stuff, from what i remember/think does esentially the same thing
all the time, whether there's custom code at a given level or wrapper or not.

very good idea.
