[cffi-devel] Merging the cffi+lotsastuff branch; new dependencies

Hello,

I'd like to merge cffi+lotsastuff[1] with the main branch soon. People have started using that branch in several projects and that has generated unnecessary confusion. This branch includes the following new features:

- efficient external-format support for foreign strings - cffi-grovel - emulated long-long types - other minor stuff

The only problem is that this branch brings in 3 new dependencies: babel[2], trivial-features[3] and alexandria[4]. Is this a big problem? I hope it isn't and I'll do the merge soon unless there are any objections.
