I would be really glad to see this upstream.  I will take a look at
how to integrate ffi-helper in the build system and then send patches
with my approach, unless you dislike the syntax.

Currently there is a need to always pass the current-lingua to all
procedures because that is what my gettext syntax (_ "Hello") reads
the locale from.  I’m not sure, maybe this is the right approach to
explicitly pass it to each procedure, but maybe something like how
G-expressions wrap the store is better, but I have not fully
understood or even really looked at G-expressions yet.  We can discuss
the syntax later though when I have working patches.

Regards,
Florian
