Looks great, you write very well!

A few minor notes:

- You suggest UFFI-COMPAT is not complete. Well, it should be complete (though likely not bug free). It passes all of the uffi-tests and is known to work with (and find bugs in) a couple of UFFI libraries.

- (defctype :curl-code :int) -- Hmm, using the keyword namespace for user-defined types. I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Some people have also suggested that using the keyword namespace for CFFI types isn't a good idea either.

I am just a lurker here. But this is definitively something I feel strongly about. No abuses of the KEYWORD package should go unpunished. :)

Please export the relevant symbols from the CFFI package.

Cheers
