It doesn't have to be a part of the C runtime.  The argument
specifying the function name is a string constant (in this case "foo").
I think the address of the C function can be resolved before the Dylan
program starts executing.

My hunch is that the FFI has the functionality I am describing, but it
is not documented.  But I could very well be wrong.  What does the
"define c-function" macro expand to?
