I plan to update cffi-ecl.lisp soon since it's the backend that is 
lacking the most features, the only reason I haven't yet is because ECL 
doesn't like some of the code in cffi-luis/types.lisp (which I plan to 
rewrite). I won't be able to until later this month though.

So, I read about the new SI::CALL-CFUN in ECL's mailing list, should we 
use that in CFFI's %foreign-funcall primitive? (Therefore in DEFCFUN 
too?)

Does that mean ECL's FFI:LOAD-FOREIGN-LIBRARY now supports non-constant 
arguments? (only if we use SI::CALL-CFUN I suppose).
