Ah there's also |begin-foreign| and |begin-ffi|, why?

Hi Vyzo,

Browsing Gerbil modules for instance hereĀ https://github.com/vyzo/gerbil/tree/master/src/std/db I see that FFI modules tend to have a non-standard format, instead of just being a file whateverclibmodule.scm (or .ss in the Gerbil convention, though .scm is supported since last week right) which contains normal Scheme and Scheme FFI code interspersed e.g. (define-c-lambda funame ...) implies (export funame)

, you have a .scm file and a .ssi file, where the .ssi contains (extern funame).

Why is this?

Thanks,
Adam
