Description

There are little to no good examples of creating a custom calling convention. We should either create one in the examples and link from the developer docs section or implement one in a blog post as a narrative that can be turned into an entire section in the developer docs.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing examples and the developer docs section to see where custom calling conventions are currently covered. Compare the two proposed paths—an example linked from the developer docs or a blog-post narrative that can become a docs section; done means one of those paths provides a useful custom calling convention example.
