 The first argument must be an interpreter. The third argument is a pointer to a `Toy_LiteralArray` containing a list of arguments to pass to the function, and the fourth is a pointer to a `Toy_LiteralArray` where the return values can be stored (an array is used here for a potential future feature). The contents of the argument array are consumed and left in an indeterminate state (but is safe to free), while the returns array always has one value - if the function did not return a value, then it contains a `null` literal.
