Ah, a proj_coordoperation_create_inverse(PJ_CONTEXT*, PJ*) function should be 
easily doable as there's already the C++ counterpart as 
CoordinateOperation::inverse() (for a PROJ string, PROJ has already the logic 
internally to split & reconstruct)

That will not help you with dealing with released versions, but if it can make 
the future better, I can do that.
