This is not a pragma, but the special syntax used by FFI. AFAIK it 
predates pragmas.

There's nothing to fix here. Either you change your parser, compiler and 
decompiler to support this syntax, but knowing how things work in Pharo, 
this is not an option, or change the methods with these callouts, 
introducing another incompatibility between Pharo and the rest, to use 
pragmas and create a custom parser, compiler and decompiler to be able to 
compile FFI callouts into methods when such pragmas are present.
