I'll surely experiment with these new features eventually as I have
more time, they seem interesting :)

Hmm so in the case of "Direct references to C variables", both a and b
are assumed to have been especially declared as in the last example,
with something similar to (let ((a 0.0) (b 3.3)) (declare (type :double
a b)) ... ?
