Can you elaborate on this one with an example?

I do support the idea of a better "intrisic" method to extend IDL with
C/C++. MAKE_DLM is a step in that direction, but more could be done,
IMO, especially with the mapping between IDL types and native language
types.

There's no reason in this modern age that we don't have a big library of
extension DLM's which draw on the vast libraries of free numerical code
out there, other than the fact that DLM's are a) a bit fiddly to build, b)
challenging to use cross-platform. Just a little more wrapper/glue
assistance, along perhaps with a custom file type (.idlc ?) ala Matlab's
.mex files, would go a long way.
