Thanks for the reply. I don't think your comment is applicable to 
my current implementation. There are no implicit callbacks. The 
only game I play with arguments is adding an extra one to 
function pointers in my dialect (and it is the first argument). 
So if you want to pass a pointer to a dialect function to a plain 
C function, there has to be some careful handling of that.
