+FFI stands for Foreign Function Interface. A foreign function interface
+is the popular name for the interface that allows code written in
+one language to call code written in another language. The libffi
+library really only provides the lowest, machine dependent layer of a
+fully featured foreign function interface. A layer must exist above
+libffi that handles type conversions for values passed between the
+two languages.
