`cbindgen` is a longer term thing and more complex, assuming we use it
in the end, so I think it is fine going with this for the time being
-- it is straightforward and a net improvement.

Later on, if needed, we can just make `export` a no-op, right?

It may also be useful to have the exports "explicitly tagged" this way.

Cheers,
Miguel
