As far as I can tell, there was no such feature in SLB. If the author
sees this, he can comment more definitively, but when I did my binding
compare [1], I couldn't find any way to expose member variables, and
looking through all the tests, I couldn't find a simple example that had
a class with a public variable to expose.
