Hi Andreas, thanks for working on this, I can see that this patch took a lot
of effort.

nit: maybe “Support for module parameters”?

Or anything else other than “types”, really :)

nit: perhaps `implementation writes more than`? Although it’d be great if a
native speaker could chime in on this one.

I don’t understand what’s being said here. e.g.: what does “Self needs to track
ownership without exposing it” mean? Can you expand on this?

Also this is pub. It should perhaps also be sealed?

Why? Can you also expand on this a tad further?

I assume that this is pub so that the macro can find it? If so, can you leave a note

Shouldn’t this panic? A call to emit_params() where there’s nothing to emit doesn’t
look right at a first glance.
