For now there would be a _very slight_ difference in the 
generated code and without optimisations. Currently arguments are 
copied on the stack, unless it's `this` which is considered as 
non-assignable ([example]).

However that detail could be handled and then there's no 
differences. Initially the example code was tried to see if that 
would lead to an ABI breakage and it's not even the case. An old 
_*.so_ would not even to be recompiled.
