Maybe.  Quite likely they can DEFUN or not DEFUN depending on the
presence of those features, so the client packages will simply use
fboundp checks, as they do when checking the features of an
Elisp library.
Again, nothing specific about the fact that they're implemented in C.

Supposedly we have that designed already, it's called `subfeatures'.
We never use it, tho.  So probably the design sucks.
