I have given it a try https://github.com/juanjosegarciaripoll/cl-cxx

It is indeed not that hard to define wrappers for C++ functions using
templates as they seem to properly dispatch among functions with different
arities. Implicit or explicit conversions are also easy to implement, given
the proper Common Lisp back-end.
