I added it, it ensures that the generated simulator functions get their
arguments in the expected order (`overflow` at the end, lkcl still hasn't
handled the comment about seeing which other args need to be sorted to the
end)

Is it relevant to running the simulator?

yes (when I added it, at least), without it the simulator won't run
correctly due to function argument order mismatch.
