I'm all for ecl_stream_to_handle() (very handy). But I'm having a 
problem under SLIME. I wrote a short FFI wrapper:

(defun stream-to-handle (stream output)
   (c-inline (stream output) (:object :bool) :int
	    "ecl_stream_to_handle(#0, #1)"
	    :one-liner t))

Calling this in SLIME for *standard-input* and *standard-output* result 
in -1, however:

POSIX> (stream-to-handle *standard-output* t)
-1
POSIX> (stream-to-handle *standard-input* nil)
-1
POSIX>

This works when ECL is run in a terminal, however. Standard input and 
output are obviously not closed when running under SLIME, however, as 
you can use them in FORMAT, etc.
