  * Experimental DEFCSTRUCT feature: accessors.
  
  CFFI> (macroexpand-1 '(defcstruct (foo :conc-name foo-)
                          (a :int)))
  ;;; ... 
  (defun foo-a (pointer-to-foo)
    (foreign-slot-value pointer-to-foo 'foo 'a))
  (defun (setf foo-a) (value pointer-to-foo)
    (foreign-slot-set value pointer-to-foo 'foo 'a))
  ;;; ... 

    M ./src/types.lisp -8 +26

  * Improvements to the :ARRAY type.
  
  - Got rid of the :AUTO-ARRAY type. Add translators to :ARRAY
    directly instead.
  - Make the :ARRAY type aggregate. This way it can be used
    inside structures as an alternative to the :COUNT slot option.
  - Add TRANSLATE-AGGREGATE-TO-FOREIGN method that lets us do
    (setf (foreign-slot-value ptr 'struct 'slot-name) #(1 2 3))

    M ./src/types.lisp -16 +30

  * Apply translators to FOREIGN-SLOT-VALUE on aggregate slots
  
  Implemented a new generic function TRANSLATE-AGGREGATE-TO-FOREIGN to
  support (SETF FOREIGN-SLOT-VALUE) for aggregate slots.

    M ./src/early-types.lisp +4
    M ./src/types.lisp -16 +21

  * Add note about FREE-TRANSLATED-OBJECT's PARAM argument.

    M ./src/early-types.lisp +3
