I let LLMs write an Elixir NIF in C; it mostly worked

It's because the most familiar thing to me that uses a NIF was Exqlite, so that was my starting point.

Using Rust and Rustler turned out to be way easier and it also now works across Elixir versions 1.14 to 1.18.

And it now runs on everything, across more Elixir and Erlang/OTP versions than before!
