I would say you should not constrain yourself w.r.t to data
structures: use whatever is best for your lisp programs. If you want
you can compile lisp functions, such as structure slot readers or your
own custom writing functions, to have a C name that gets exported, and
use them _directly_ from C, if you really need to (it is a
declaration, but I do not remember it right now).
