+//! Platform `va_list`, extracted and simplified from `core::ffi::va_list`.
+//!
+//! libvlc-sys rust bindings are common to all libvlc's supported platforms and are bindgen
+//! generated once by the maintainers. Hence it needs a cross-platform va_list type.
+//!
+//! VaLists are platform specific, the C standard only specifies that they should be possible to
+//! pass by value. Libvlc uses them in the logger callback exclusively, until the rust stdlib C
+//! variadic API is stable, the type with the single goal of being forwarded to a C formatting
+//! function. Which simplifies greatly the implementation.
+//!
+//! Once the c_variadic API is stabilized, this file should be removed.
