J6-UEFI-Headers: Custom C++ headers for interfacing with UEFI

As mentioned in a few other blog posts, UEFI Forum seems to focus only on their Tianocore-based projects, and don’t consider UEFI apps built outside the Tianocore environment (in C, C++, or Rust). I wish they’d create a project that provides bindings for other languages, to be usable outside the Tianocore Build environment, where most developers operate. Here’s another source of external (to UEFI Forum) headers:
