Well it is on the roadmap, but out of scope for 3.0, which was just released. 

I don't think I need full-interop, just enough to let me avoid coding Obj-c, 
which for me is mainly AppDelegate. But I can see how in the short term it is 
zero-sum. The app however would mirror how interop is done with Android static 
classes though. That might be something?
