264	* - 64-bit integers are larger than uintptr_t on 32-bit hosts.
265	* Pass integers > 32-bit by reference (pointers).
266	* - Don't use NULL since it should be the integer 0 in C++ and may
267	* therefore end up with garbage in the bits 63:32 on 64-bit
268	* hosts because 'int' is 32-bit.
269	* Use (void *)NULL or (uintptr_t)0 instead of NULL.
270	* - The max number of arguments is currently limited to 9, because
271	* on macOS/arm64 arguments passed on the stack that are 32-bit
272	* or smaller will not get a full 64-bit stack slot. So,
273	* we cannot pretend @a pfnFunction takes a list of @a cArgs
274	* uintptr_t parameters, unless all parameters above 9 actually
275	* are more than 32 bits wide. (This would've kind of worked
276	* iff the variadict functions didn't use different size round up
277	* and alignment rules.) See @bugref{10725}.
