Description

Would like to, in future, use AbiKind, which is defined as the "C" in extern "C". This will also help, in future, if we move to edition 2024, which requires unsafe be specified (like unsafe extern "C").

Research direction

Start by locating uses of AbiKind and extern "C" in the FLS text, then review how the ABI kind is described. Done means the relevant terminology consistently uses AbiKind and remains compatible with the noted Rust 2024 unsafe extern syntax.
