that associates, for the ECL port, a byte with the CFFI :char type. Is this intended per-specification? Why not using ECL's :char type, which might be more than one byte if the compiler and operating system expect so?
My guess is that we're using :byte instead of :char because ECL's :char converts C chars to Lisp characters, which is not what CFFI's :char is supposed to do. In any case, the C spec states that sizeof(char) == 1, does it not?
