These functions are not visible in the docs, and no other macro does that.

I don't think we have a mechanism for tests in the macro crate?

I do think this could use more info about when to use it. E.g., you
don't use it if C calls it via a vtable, but only if C calls it via a
declaration in a header file. I'll add more info.

I think this case is borderline for whether it's necessary to split
up, but okay.
