<<As it happens, both ISE Eiffel and Mercury translate to C.  That's
probably what prompted us to invent the feature in the first place.

No surprise! Yes, of course this is easy if you translate to C. But let's
have an example of implementing this where you do NOT translate into C.
I don't for a moment accept that this is technically reasonable or feasible.
It would be like requiring the acceptance of machine language inserts for
the IBM 370 on all targets.
