Heh, it took me a while to figure out how that even compiled. It
creates a PPOLY-T class with to slots: QUOTE and PPOLY-T. I'm not sure
how to reliable detect the old syntax. The old DEFINE-FOREIGN-TYPE is
more like the new DEFINE-PARSE-METHOD.

(defmacro defctype* (name base-type)
"Like DEFCTYPE but defers instantiation until parse-time."
`(define-parse-method ,name ()
(make-instance 'foreign-typedef :name ',name
:actual-type (parse-type ',base-type))))
This should work. It could have a few more features of DEFCTYPE's but
that's the basic idea. Would Verrazano need this macro added to CFFI or
can it define itself somewhere? Also, suggestions for a better name are
welcome.
