Again it depends. It _can_ be a biggie but often it isn't.

Huh? What's that to mean?

Essentially it was and _is_ an attempt to simplify the glue code
generation for plugins. E.g., it simplifies many boring tasks like
having to pop the argument, check for the correct type, coerce it etc.
etc. etc. by just declaring them in a special way. I always hoped that
at some point somebody would work toward generating this kind of glue
code from a C function specification so that you can generate a plugin
from a class that has FFI calls. Wouldn't that be nice ;-)

Hey, you can ask as many questions as you wish as long as you don't
actually expect me to answer (heh, heh) ;-)))
