I see, thanks for clarifying. I don't think we want to change anything
on either of the C sides (at least for the foreseeable future). So the
Rust code in-between must respect whatever conventions both C sides
already use, even if they happen to be different on each side.

Thus the C side will not know there was a `Result` inside the Rust
side and so it does not need to worry about which field to look at.

Cheers,
Miguel
