You are right. What happened was that I had created my own little 
deref-array for use with CFFI, but I took the opportunity to eliminate 
the need to always say '(:array XXXX) and then adjusted all my code 
accordingly. Forgot all that when I cut over to your deref-array with 
its true UFFI compatibility.
