I very much like the general direction, but I wonder if we expect
many more "rust-to-C interface layer" files to come, which I suspect
is generally true, and in which case I think it is a good idea to
rethink the use of "compat/" for this purpose from early days, as
"compat/" is not about "compat between C and something else", but is
about "compat between platform peculiarity and (idealized) POSIX
environment our code assumes".
