Comment(by simonmar):

 Thanks Iavor.  I just skimmed that thread.  Your `static_wrapper` idea is
 indeed similar, but not quite the same.  The proposed extension here
 differs from `static_wrapper` in two ways:

  * It doesn't have an implicit `StablePtr` argument built-in
  * It doesn't imply the creation of a C symbol
