Why do you say that you “don't understand the point of it”?

How these work? I presume they are compiled and used as sub-processes.
Would not the new modules[1] support be more appropriate here? Indeed,
we’d have to figure out how those architecture-dependent parts are
supposed to get distributed. I think packages that use them have a
compilation script written in Lisp that is triggered on-demand in the
first use.
