I'm guessing this would be the default calling convention for the system. If the 
system was written in C++ (BeOS?), would it have to mean "extern(C++)"? If 
someone wrote an OS in D, would it just be "extern(D)"? Or would it just be 
specified that "System" means "Windows" on Windows and "C" everywhere else?
