IMHO generic FFI should settle before. Then I would be glad to take
part in making such interface.
I just wanted to make a ls-like directory listing. Posix lacks symlinks,
sticky bits and device id of device files. SUSV2 still seems to lack
any interpretation of device id (major/minor), so device id cannot be
portably printed in a nice way.
It's annoying that to get an unsupported bit of information from Posix
types (like st_rdev or S_ISLNK), the only way that does not depend on
implementation of Haskell's Posix module is to rewrite an interface to
a C function together with marshalling relevant C types from scratch.
