I don't think we're thinking the same thing. I don't want to do
anything with the variable from Lisp, I simply want it defined in a
scope that it such that the variable will continue to exist and be
visible within other inline C blocks, and given a name that won't
clash with variables generated by the ECL compiler. I suppose it is a
different feature than what you described, since it need not
correspond to a lisp variable at all.
