Currently just good old POD types (and simple structs) and C arrays
are supported. Sure this is a shortcoming, but I think we can live
that for 1.0, don't we?

I think this is not as easy as you think it is. If want to extend the
design to support vector I think it would be wise to make the system
more user extendible at the same time. Thus user can even communicate
their own custom containers. But as I stated above this should be a
post 1.0 issue.
