What about $symbols? Looks like Perl, heh.

(define-type-translation string
   "String translator."
   :c-type :pointer
   :to-c-arg
   (let (($var (foreign-string-alloc $value)))
     (unwind-protect
          ($body)
       (foreign-string-free $var)))
   :to-c
   (foreign-string-alloc $value)
   :from-c
   (foreign-string-to-lisp $value))
