This tutorial shows the usefulness of foreign-funcall for C functions with varargs. Lispworks unfortunately doesn't export this functionality.

I consider it an omission in a foreign API if all that is provided is varargs. I'd bug the respective developers until they provide a function that takes an array of some such.

Agreed. Still, the ability to call varargs functions seems to be useful. Namely, James is working on an Objective-C bridge on top of CFFI that uses this functionality.
