This pretty painful when the nesting gets deep. I started trying to convert the tests and I stopped around struct.alignment.4

There's (get-var-pointer '*s-s-ch*) but it's not much better, I agree. We could have DEFCVAR define a symbol macro for &*S-S-CH* that would get the pointer, maybe?

For nesting, one can use FOREIGN-SLOT-POINTER explicitly or the (:pointer foo) for WITH-FOREIGN-SLOTS.

What do you think?

I've gone ahead and submitted a PR so you can see how the changes look. better to decide later,
