This comes up every now and then.  I am not sure if it is simply too
difficult to add kfuns -- perhaps I should write a doc? -- or if there
really is a good reason for linking to C code in another way.

If the latter, I have never seen this convincingly argued.  Therefore
I invite you, and anyone who agrees with you, to come up with good
arguments.  Don't just tell me what is bad about the kfun interface,
also mention how it should be.
