is there a good reason why WITH-FOREIGN-STRING allocates the buffer on the heap instead of using WITH-FOREIGN-OBJECT, which will allocate on the stack on platforms that support it?
I believe we were worried about big strings and the possibility of overflowing the stack. I suppose we could add an argument to WITH-FOREIGN-STRING and :STRING to force stack allocation.
