I am not sure we want the check to be as simple as ret < 0. Some
function IDs may return input errors based on the supplied arguments
(for example, RMI_ERROR_INPUT). In those cases, we would likely want
this to be handled via a callback.

We also want to use conditional compilation for some function IDs.
Given the callback approach and the #ifdefs, I wonder whether what we
currently have is actually simpler and more flexible.”
