I remembered that we have pessimistic analysis for function pointers, and
we left that on for safety.
I'll do a static analysis later. I wonder if it can be integrated, i.e. I
trust emscripten such that it will decide which functions to be interpreted
and which are not, instead of copying the arguments and paste to emscripten
every time.
