The API for GC root registration went through several design cycles,
and CamlIDL was mostly written before the latest API (the CAMLxxx
macros) was implemented. Besides, the Begin_roots* macros used in
CamlIDL-generated code, while lower-lever than the CAMLxxx macros,
are no harder, and maybe slightly simpler, to generate automatically
by a program such as CamlIDL.
