Comment:
The problem is:
{{{
Dynamic wrapper.
The type of a wrapper stub has to be of the form ft -> IO (FunPtr ft),
where ft may be any foreign type.
}}}
e.g. this is accepted:
{{{
import Foreign.Ptr
foreign import ccall "wrapper" foo :: () -> IO (FunPtr ())
}}}
I'll leave the ticket open, though, as I think we should give the expected
pattern in the error message.
