Well ... FFI is inherently unsafe - it allows to call any C function
in any library. So depending on the area of application this might be
a problem, since you're giving up the relative safety of a VM-based
system. For example, if the VM's sandbox is enabled, FFI calls are
disallowed, so you could not use crypto in a sandboxed environment.
