Stefan Behnel <stefan...@behnel.de> added the comment:

Agree with Raymond. If the goal is to pass something else, then functions that 
want to make use of that "something else" have to be modified anyway, in which 
case also changing the call type wouldn't hurt (assuming the new value still 
fits into the flag options, but it should).

Only drawback is that adding a new calling convention breaks *calling* code 
that does not go through the C-API for calling functions, or that otherwise 
makes direct use of the calling convention flags. But that should be very rare 
and I think it's acceptable to require such code to be adapted. It would very 
likely be amongst the beneficiaries of the proposed calling changes anyway.
