This is another point but I think is quite independent.

In fact would be possible to target the current module interface with
libgccjit as vice versa would be possible to target the "new" ABI with C
(as it's under discussion).

I decided not to target the module interface for performance reasons.
AFAIK module interface was never designed with performance as primary
goal (please correct me if I'm wrong).

It's very important to have a fast interface for this application at the
price of sacrificing over other aspects as stability on different
versions for instance.
