I can't seem to find the lambda-callback patch but, IIRC, we reached the
conclusion that we could support this feature in a similar fashion to
the way we support foreign-funcall and long-long on some Lisps.

The first step to integrate this feature into CFFI is to have someone
actually use it, maybe write some tests. I doubt the patch (wherever it
is) bitrotted much; can you apply it and/or let me know where it is? Let
us know if it works for you or if you need any help.
