#3052: ghc FFI doesn't support thiscall
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------

Os: Windows | Architecture: x86
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
The ghc FFI does not support the "thiscall" calling convention.
This is the calling convention used by Microsoft C++ for calling methods.
It's like the stdcall calling convention, except that the "this" pointer
is passed in ECX.
Without this calling convention it's impossible to interact with (Msft)
C++ objects.
