///
/// As the engine API export system is set up to not require hand-written code in generated wrappers per se, the
/// export system seeks to include a maximum possible amount of information in the export structures.

/// functions is stored in the export structures.  It is up to the wrapper generator if and how it makes use of
/// this information.
///
/// Default arguments are represented by capturing raw stack frame vectors of the arguments to functions.  These

/// may actually want to read out individual argument values and include them in function prototypes within
/// the generated code.

///
/// Call-ins are exposed as native entry points.  The control layer must be able to natively
/// marshall arguments and call DLL function exports using C calling conventions.

/// @section engineFunction_callout Call-outs
///
/// Call-outs are exposed as pointer-sized memory locations into which the control layer needs
/// to install addresses of functions that receive the call from the engine back into the control
/// layer.  The function has to follow C calling conventions and 
///
/// A call-out will initially be set to NULL and while being NULL, will simply cause the engine
/// to skip and ignore the call-out.  This allows the control layer to only install call-outs
/// it is actually interested in.
