And so I did. Attached is a path that defers the error about variadic functions a bit. This was surprisingly simple, it basically worked on the first try. Now I can write get hooks for the "methods" in libdb, and if I manually write lots of foreign import dynamic declarations, I call call them. The next step is to generate them. I think, the easiest way is to extend the call and fun hooks to accept cids of the form struct->method, which would then create a dynamic import and act like a combination of get and call hooks. Libdb always passes the struct itself as the first argument to the method. This seems to be a fairly common convention. Do you think it deserves special support?
