You have a point there, with-foreign-object will be redesigned. :-)

I'm still thinking about playing with the idea of "foreign objects" that carry types, like Lispworks's pointers and CMUCL/SBCL's alien objects so this macro should change name.

with-dynamic-alloc? with-foreign-alloc? Hmm.. I like "with-dynamic-alloc" (IIRC, this name is probably similar to something Lispworks has, heh). Preferences/suggestions anyone?
