I am a grad school acquaintance of Andrei's. I contacted him a 
little while ago asking for feedback on a project that I'm 
working on. He suggested I post it to the D list. So here I am.

The link below is to a draft that is currently under review for 
PLDI 2017. Please do not share it in a way that might get to a 
committee member for that conference.

I am happy to hear any feedback you have, whether it's critical, 
enthusiastic or indifferent.

I would suggest if your ABI requires it to move the callback from last 
argument to either first or second.
Not that I read your paper in much depth.

You would get problems with e.g. c's var args with it last.

Thanks for the reply. I don't think your comment is applicable to 
my current implementation. There are no implicit callbacks. The 
only game I play with arguments is adding an extra one to 
function pointers in my dialect (and it is the first argument). 
So if you want to pass a pointer to a dialect function to a plain 
C function, there has to be some careful handling of that.
