Are there plans to include C99 'complex' type
in Foreign, maybe as CFloatComplex, CDoubleComplex
and CLongDoubleComplex? This seems an easy addition
to the standard and would allow binding of a few
interesting libraries, like GSL.

A separate library for new types to add to Foreign would be the easiest
way forward. Just put the foreign-c99 package on Hackage?

As far as I know, this is not possible. (I tried for
a long time to do that, actually, until I reallized
it could not be done.)

If it's not true, i.e., I could actually have some
arbitrary sized parameter as argument to a function
or as a return value (and not its pointer), what
did I saw wrong? I understand only Foreign.C.C*
types or forall a. => Foreign.Ptr.Ptr a can be used
like that.
