this is exactly the example from the manual:

(let ((str (make-array 4 :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)                       :initial-element 65)))  (foreign-funcall "strlen" :string str :int))

This used to work but it stopped making much sense when we added support for string encodings. I've fixed the manual and will upload it as soon as I figure out how to build it on OSX.

Do you mean all the :string conversions, or only :string used with unsigned-byte 8?
