I don't expect an API change any time soon, but, I did this:

#+:prefixed-api
(ffi:clines
  "#define US_CONS(x,y) ecl_cons((x), (y))")

#-:prefixed-api
(ffi:clines
  "#define US_CONS(x,y) make_cons((x), (y))")

(ffi:c-inline ...
 " @(return) = US_CONS("value one", "value two");")

Where US_CONS is a value I control and thus can prevent API clashing with.

I think I *am* able to query the api version...

bye,

Erik.
