The context of the discussion IS said minimal binding to build on top of.

I will point out that such syntactic points as multiple return values
and error handling are also the kinds of changes I'd do; I'd
overlooked those in my discussion because usually I'm working with
stuff that's already object-oriented instead of idiomatic C and
therefore those considerations aren't nearly as necessary.
