It is not the intended usage, but the bindings often lag a bit behind  
the library. In your case, the bindings should be extended so that  
HullWhite public members are exposed. I'll try and do it for next  
release---or you can modify shortratemodels.i and send me a patch. Feel  
free to ask for advice if you undertake the task.
