In many cases, the body is much cheaper to execute than a function call,
so that would be a significant performance loss. However, there is no reason
why the author of the foreign_proc can't use that technique where it is
needed.

We could modify the transformation to put something like
"#define MR_IO_TABLING_COPY_NUM 1" before one copy and
"#define MR_IO_TABLING_COPY_NUM 2" before the other, and let the C code
include that macro in the label name.
