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.
