there seems to be a minor incompatibility between the latest UFFI and CFFI-UFFI-COMPAT: the LOOKUP-FOREIGN-ENCODING function is missing in the compat package.

What is this function supposed to do? Is its return value supposed to be passed to other UFFI functions or CL functions?

Due to limited knowledge of UFFI and CFFI it is difficult to tell. But as far as I understand this function translates UFFI names for foreign encodings into platform-dependent names.

It is used multiple times in UFFI sources i18n.lisp and strings.lisp
