AFAIK this still won't cover all cases: we'd additionally have to
arrange for C calls to F<fun> to go through the trampoline.  Maybe we
can do that cheaply, I don't know.

In any case, I think the story is still sufficiently complex that we're
better off saying that "it may work or not depending on your luck".
