It was my intention to do it the other way around: marshall blob to Ptr (), and then you can cast this to a Ptr CChar. Obviously you'd need to retain the size information, so a blob basically becomes a (Ptr (), Int) pair, just like a CStringLen...
At least this way you've got a type which says explicitly "this thing is a blob", and then if you know better, i.e. it's really a CString, you can cast it.
You're right, I'll work in this direction. Eventually I will add also the CStringLen marshalling, as it is a pretty common case (BS, FPS, PS) and it could be handy. Salvatore
