Has anyone used this package?  How is it?

It's OK.  You only broke your leg in three places.  Walk it off.

Pretty bad. The lisp leaves something to be desired.
The optimations are highly questionable.

Nuts.  I guess I'll have to reverse engineer some C code I have.  I was
hoping not to do that because the best way I know to reverse engineer C
is to figure out what the high level meaning of the code is, then
recreate that in Lisp.  I don't want to do C in Lisp.

A possible alternative is to control the C program from Lisp but I
don't really like that idea.  Using FFI would be a bit better.  I
prefer a properly integrated solution though.  I'm as xenophobic as
Lisp is ;-)

Thanks.
