I am happy to hear any feedback you have, whether it's

I would suggest if your ABI requires it to move the callback
from last argument to either first or second.
Not that I read your paper in much depth.
You would get problems with e.g. c's var args with it last.
Thanks for the reply. I don't think your comment is applicable to
my current implementation. There are no implicit callbacks. The
only game I play with arguments is adding an extra one to
function pointers in my dialect (and it is the first argument).
So if you want to pass a pointer to a dialect function to a plain
C function, there has to be some careful handling of that.
