Perhaps there could be an intermediate solution: keep the calling
convention field as a string, but add a command-line option, something
like --allow-cconv=<comma-separated list> with default being whatever
is in the Addendum plus those non-standard nhc98 convention names. For
Javascript backend, I'll use --allow-cconv=javascript, etc.

--allow-cconv=ANY would turn this check off (thus ANY in capitals
being reserved word)

This is all advisory to the final code generator, anyway.

Thanks
