no attempt is made to complete it. *New in version 1.1:* support
for multidimensional arrays: "``int n[...][...];``".
+ *New in version 1.2:* "``int m[][...];``", i.e. ``...`` can be used
+ in the innermost dimensions without being also used in the outermost
+ dimension. In the example given, the length of the ``m`` array is
+ assumed not to be known to the C compiler, but the length of every
+ item (like the sub-array ``m[0]``) is always known the C compiler.
+ In other words, only the outermost dimension can be specified as
+ ``[]``, both in C and in CFFI, but any dimension can be given as
+ ``[...]`` in CFFI.

* enums: if you don't know the exact order (or values) of the declared
constants, then use this syntax: "``enum foo { A, B, C, ... };``"
(with a trailing "``...``"). The C compiler will be used to figure
