This is why I want to have such a feature in C. It would be extremely useful for language interoperability.

But because ISA was mentioned, x86 does indeed even have native support for this: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20231211-00/?p=10... These instructions are not too useful though and I do not think anybody uses them.
