Well, if you would be redefining a new  API, there are some things I
would like (out of the top of my head):
a) Treat the return type as part of the CIF. (Why not have all the
static information in it?)
b) Don't treat a void type different than any other type. (Don't
really remember, it led to a quirk in my compiler).

I think if you do that, you'll find it becomes a lot more orthogonal.

Cheers, Marco
