Btw, after having a look at `_arguments' when this first came up: if I ever come to this, I wouldn't turn the whole of `_arguments' into C, but instead add only support for the argument- and command-line-parsing. Probably made a bit more generic so that we could use this is other places, too. Has anyone had ideas for other things we might want to add support in C for?
