 Currently eventlog file doesn't contain more information about FFI than:

 "stopping thread ### (making a foreign call)"

 It would be very-very useful if we know what actual foreign calls are
 made. For example:

 "stopping thread ### (making a foreign call to function YYYY)

 So we could see which function and how much time is spent on that call.
 If creation of threads because of in-bound foreign calls (callbacks) have
 which callbacks are created for it will be very useful, too.
