Who has ever claimed that ISO C Binding is trivial?
It was meant to take away the user's pain of looking up the way to call
C functions in the "specific to this compiler" chapter of the manual
(not to mention the spaghetti #ifdef ... #elif ... #elif ... #endif to
deal with all different compilers ...).
Of course, that means that that pain now is now visited upon *us*, the
compiler writers. The good thing is that we can fix it once and for all ...
Cheers,
