You have a point there, with-foreign-object will be redesigned. :-)

I'm still thinking about playing with the idea of "foreign objects" that
carry types, like Lispworks's pointers and CMUCL/SBCL's alien objects so
this macro should change name.

with-dynamic-alloc? with-foreign-alloc? Hmm.. I like
"with-dynamic-alloc" (IIRC, this name is probably similar to something
Lispworks has, heh). Preferences/suggestions anyone?
