On the topic of unaudited APIs. Does a recommended way exist that I as say
a user of on an unaudited C API / library can add attributes to the C API
for my use in Swift? (e.g. code that I don't own, I just use)

It is likely a number of C APIs won't get attributed for improved use in
Swift by the authors so having a good way that the community could overlay
attributes for the benefit of Swift could be helpful.

Anything better then cloning headers?
