Woot! I’ll be glad to help with the primitives bit.  Welcome to the Squeak community, Stephen!!

We have, e.g. ideas for how to seal an FFI so that one cannot use functions outside of a defined API.  This would give the same security properties as a plugin without the costs, complexities and limitations of plugins.  In any case if you do go for a plugin based solution think of using SmartSyntaxInterpreterPlugin, and I've made some improvements in the support for these, as exemplified by MP4MediaFilePlugin, a work in progress as far as the mp4 side of things, but up-to-the-minute in terms of the MP4MediaFilePlugin side of things.
