5a: record {.ffiHost.} procs in a compile-time registry (FFIHostMeta /
ffiHostRegistry), populated by the macro, so generators can see host fns.
5b: the Go generator emits an idiomatic wrapper over the host C ABI:
- a single //export cgo trampoline backs every host fn; a cgo.Handle in
userData selects the Go closure;
- the closure runs on a fresh GOROUTINE so the FFI thread is never blocked
(the non-blocking contract), then answers via <lib>_host_complete by token;
- a per-host `Set<Name>(func(string) (string, error))` method registers it.
Validated end to end with `go run` (examples/host_demo): Go UseToken -> Nim
{.ffi.} handler -> await fetchToken {.ffiHost.} -> Go trampoline -> goroutine
runs the closure -> host_complete -> future resolves on the loop thread ->
"token[TOK-session]" back in Go. Timer's Go output is unchanged (no host fns);
its regenerated .h just gains the always-exported host ABI decls.

nim-ffi
Allows exposing Nim projects to other languages
Example
examples/timer is now a self-contained Nimble project that imports nim-ffi directly.
Use cd examples/timer && nimble install -y ../.. && nimble build to compile the example.
