Well, it is a system call implementation. It does not try emulating any

Sure, this may appear like pure sophistry, but _you_ use your
nomenclature for making statements about the system that are just
factually wrong. That's where being careless with terminology stops
being irrelevant.

It has got no guest, it is a guest, since it is a kind of software
emulation, despite the claim that "Wine Is Not an Emulator".
