If we want more flexibility in there it would probably make sense to
have some kind of top-level type which can be configured and takes care
of passing down the necessary data, with functionality being methods on
that - and get rid of all the freestanding functions and functions
returning longer tuples of not-self-describing data.
Would also make the generated rust docs a lot more natural to read.
