-       <para>
-         &hyperobject; was designed as a cross-implementation 
-         compatible <emphasis>Foreign Function Interface</emphasis>.
-         Necessarily,
-         only a common subset of functionality can be
-         provided. Likewise, not every optimization for that a specific
-         implementation provides can be supported. Wherever possible,
-         though, implementation-specific optimizations are invoked.
