Yeah, ffis are just calls like any other, with the usual annotations and types on parameters and return values, etc. They just happen to be to functions on the outside of the asm module.

edit: btw, there is a full example here https://github.com/dherman/asm.js/#example

Ah, I wasn't aware there was an actual repo associated with ASM.js. The example doesn't show how you call into the module with `consoleDotLog` defined, though. I know that sounds like a triviality, but complete examples are really useful to cut through any possible ambiguity!

I would definitely lobby to get something smaller and concise into the spec under the "Putting it All Together" heading! You could modify the existing example in the spec to include an external function definition and call.
