Thanks for the detailed reply. Unfortunately I think I didn't get my question across correctly.

I'm pretty familiar with most of the basic stuff I can do in Ada. I'm not asking for general advice on making a thick binding, I'm asking for help with one specific data structure/pattern. 

What is the best way to make Ada types/functions that wrap a particular thing:

I just pushed a work in progress branch where you can see what I'm struggling with:

https://github.com/MichaelAllenHardeman/gdnative_ada/blob/feature/adventure_game/examples/adventure_game/src/engine_hooks.adb#L29
https://github.com/MichaelAllenHardeman/gdnative_ada/blob/feature/adventure_game/examples/adventure_game/src/example_object.adb#L90

Is it possible to create type (tagged record maybe) who's dispatching methods automatically register in some way?
