The API has grown to have so many options I am wondering is we should define a
structure and pass just one arg

enum SnapshotKind {
  Dart_kNone,
  Dart_kScript,
  ...
};

typedef struct {
  SnapshotKind kind;  
  uint8_t** vm_snapshot_data_buffer;
  intptr_t* vm_snapshot_data_size;
  ....
  ....
  ....
} Dart_SnapshotParams;

DART_EXPORT Dart_Handle Dart_CreateCoreJITSnapshotAsBlobs(Dart_SnapshotParams*
params);

I am also wondering if we can have just one function for all the kinds:
Dart_CreateSnapshot(Dart_SnapshotParams* params);

This seems promising.
