Hi Ralf,

This is more along the lines of what I was thinking...

But as you say, you have full control at link time and you can enforce
the "ABI" yourself.

I was wondering how relevant is this intermixing of languages and how
many people were doing this.

Mapping between any two (or more) languages' ABIs would be a fun exercise... ;)
