Indeed, extern "C" doesn't mean that the code being called using
those functions has actually been compiled as C. It merely changes
the naming of the functions in the object files to be compatible
with how functions are named in C.

But that makes me wonder: If an extern "C" declared function has
C++ types as parameters (or return value type), how are those
encoded in the name? Or are they at all? Can you overload extern "C"
functions?
