I don't see the need, since (deep breath) freeHaskellFunctionPtr()
drops the stable pointer for you when passed the Addr that f.e.d.
returns. That RTS entry point doesn't have a Haskell wrapper at
the moment, so you'll have to  'foreign import' to use it (or
_ccall_ it, as we did in the olden days ;)
