The Intrinsic mechanism is flexible enough for most purposes: the compiler
can simply treat the intrinsics as automatically extern "C", with the
appropriate calling interface gleaned from the $SYSINTR files..
 
The Data Dictionary is something else, though..  I don't think the C
compiler supported it, either..
