You can submit your request to raylib, and see if they accept it. I 
doubt it.

One thing that is very obvious from a few of my PRs is that raylib is 
not interested in making changes specifically to be binding-friendly. I 
think you will probably find this from many C libraries -- their focus 
is their library, not yours. If ImportC cannot work with C libraries as 
they stand without "simple tweaks", then it's just not going to be worth 
much.
