[CM] SDL is unchanged still but here's another for ImGui

[Omar Cornut]

Hello,

Language bindings for dear imgui may be added at
https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Bindings#language-bindings

May I recommend you may be able to use Dear Bindings for bindings
generation:
https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Bindings#binding-generators

Cheers,

(Otherwise, please kindly remove me and the dearimgui address from this
thread. 🙏 i am not really comfortable with this address being included in
a mailing list post as it seems like a likely vector for bots to index the
address. Thank you.)
