It might work for this particular case, but I'd prefer compiler macros. See DEFINE-MEM-ACCESSORS in cffi-sbcl.lisp for an example.

The problem with compiler macros is that they may stop working depending on the optimization settings.

Also it is not clear to me from the definitions whether %mem-set returns a value, or whether I can simply produce a form that does not return anything.
