Yes, this is in relation to looking at whether we can just use the
upstream libffi directly on Windows. It looks like we guarantee a
ValueError for the wrong number of arguments on Windows and upstream
libffi doesn't give a way to detect that, so there may be a backward
compatibility issue in doing so.

Thanks for checking for me.
