1;;; Foreign function interface.

2;;;

3;;; libffi is here for exactly one consumer -- libwayland's connection layer

4;;; dispatches protocol messages through `ffi_call`, in the CLIENT as well as

5;;; the server -- but it is filed under its own domain rather than beside

6;;; wayland, on the same reasoning that put libevent in `event.sgl` instead of

7;;; `terminal.sgl`: a module named for the consumer writes "this exists to

8;;; serve wayland" into the layout, and it does not.
