I just think that passing around function pointers doesn't make for a
good calling convention here, as it hides the fact that it is possible
to call this without a callback. But there isn't a reason to pass in the
whole stack, it would also be fine to instead pass in e.g. the write
options.

I think I'll do that instead.
