"Omniglot" is a rather dramatic title for something that's basically a way to call C from Rust with additional checking on the C side for type compatibility.

That said, it might be useful. The demo case is contrived, though. Passing Rust async semantics into C code is inherently iffy. I'd like to see something like OpenJPEG (a JPEG 2000 encoder written in C) safely encapsulated in this way.
