 * The C FFI exposes vtable-based registration for OCR backends, post-processors,
 * validators, and embedding backends. There is no public C entry point for
 * registering a custom DocumentExtractor — that must be done from Rust.
 *
 * From C you can still drive extraction for any MIME type the Rust core knows
 * how to handle. The example below feeds JSON bytes through the standard
 * extraction pipeline by passing the explicit MIME type.
