Is there a way to condense the smoltcp API so that it could be exported as a C library?

With the design goals stated in the readme, this library seems particularly well suited for embedded systems, and considering the mess that is LwIP, I think it could be interesting to use smoltcp (which is extensively tested and fuzzed) as the TCP/IP stack instead of LwIP or other C-based TCP/IP stacks.

Example use case:

  • FreeRTOS running on a microcontroller
  • Uses LwIP on a seperate task for networking, does a bunch of heap allocations within FreeRTOS
