On a related note, as I was reading the FFI specification again, I
can't find any mention of whether or not FunPtr's are stable with

correct?
Did you read Tackling the Awkward Squad? I think Section 6 (esp.
6.4.2) addresses this:

Thanks - from 6.4.2:
"Incidentally, the alert reader may have noticed
that foreign import "wrapper", described
in Section 6.2, must use stable pointers."
Perhaps a future revision of the FFI document could also include a direct
confirmation like this?
Best regards, Brian.
