As for me, a working callback-lambda under SBCL (and later ECL) would be a MAJOR win. Even more so if I could avoid memory leaks by being able to delete callbacks when they're no longer needed.

I can't seem to find the lambda-callback patch but, IIRC, we reached the conclusion that we could support this feature in a similar fashion to the way we support foreign-funcall and long-long on some Lisps.

The first step to integrate this feature into CFFI is to have someone actually use it, maybe write some tests. I doubt the patch (wherever it is) bitrotted much; can you apply it and/or let me know where it is? Let us know if it works for you or if you need any help.
