More importantly, how can you be translating a string without
performing allocation in this case? Also, in general,
translate-into-foreign-memory for strings should definitely refuse to
accept string types without an explicit size. (Which is not
implemented yet, IIRC.)

In any case, why does Ryan's example need translate-into-foreign-memory?
