1//! FFI — register Rust functions as callable Lisp procedures.
2//!
3//! Two registration modes:
4//!
5//!   - **Raw** (`Interpreter::register_fn`): you receive `&[Value]` and
6//!     pick values out yourself. Most flexible, no marshalling overhead.
7//!     Appropriate for primitives that need to inspect arg kinds
8//!     directly or handle variadic arguments.
9//!
10//!   - **Typed** (`Interpreter::register_typed{0,1,2,3,4}`): you declare
11//!     Rust arg + return types; the runtime marshals `Value` ↔ Rust
12//!     types via the `FromValue` and `IntoValue` traits. Arity is
13//!     inferred from the Rust signature. This is the common-case API
14//!     for embedder code.
15//!
16//! Values that need to cross the FFI boundary unchanged (e.g., opaque
17//! host handles) can be wrapped in `Value::Foreign(Arc<dyn Any>)` and
18//! downcast in the native fn body.
