Comment:
Generating constructor functions in Haskell modules would be a bit tricky,
because we'd have to generate code that has the C calling convention, and
neither the NCG nor the mangler knows how to do that.
Something along the lines of the last method (have the exported C
functions check that the module they're in has been initialised) might be
possible. But we have to be careful not to add too much overhead to the
call-in path.
I'll think some more about this.
