It's possible, but there's no API in the C++ side to create the graph. Until
such an API exists, you can't write the generator.
Care to contribute the C++ side, including passing all the reviews? Note that
this is a major undertaking and will probably take two or three releases to
get a minimal functional API out there. Plus the maintenance effort.
