	30.3. Extensions-2.3. The Foreign Function Call Facility
		All symbols relating to the foreign function interface are exported from the package
		A "call-in" function is a Lisp function called from the foreign language: control flow temporary enters Lisp.
		Foreign functions are functions which are defined in the foreign language.

	Connected: An Internet Encyclopedia - Application Programming Interface API
		function to specify a foreign TCP/IP port address and initiate a TCP connection, creating an active socket.
		Sockets and TLI provide pretty much the same functionality (access to TCP and UDP) and are mutually exclusive, though it is possible to write conditionally-compiled code to support either.
		An Application Programming Interface (API) defines how programmers utilize a particular computer feature.

	CLSQL: Common Lisp SQL Interface
		CLSQL uses the Universal Foreign Function Interface (UFFI) library for broad compatibility.
		CLSQL is a SQL database for Common Lisp interface maintained by Kevin M. Rosenberg.
		It has been tested with Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD on a number of different CPU architectures.

	UFFI: Universal Foreign Function Interface for Common Lisp
		UFFI wraps this common subset of functionality with it's own syntax and provides macro translation of UFFI functions into the specific syntax of supported Common Lisp implementations.
		UFFI is a package to interface Common Lisp programs with C-language compatible libraries.
		Without the use of UFFI, to support multiple implementations, developers must write a different interface library for each Common Lisp implementation.

	The Haskell 98 Foreign Function Interface 1.0
		The Haskell 98 Foreign Function Interface (FFI) adds support for invoking code written in other programming languages from Haskell and vice versa.
		A Guide to Haskell's Foreign Function Interface by Alastair Reid
		Version 1.0 focuses on interaction with C code, but the basic framework can also be used for interfacing to languages other than C. Version 1.0 of the FFI Addendum is available in the following forms:

		The technique is called variously a foreign function interface or a native call interface.
		Given a native type signature (e.g., double sin(double)) we should be able to have a definition ffi("libm","sin","dd","Nsin") which defines the octave function Nsin, which you could then call from octave as x = Nsin(y).
		For extra convenience it would be nice to automatically apply scalar functions like this element-wise on a vector.

	dirtSimple.org: Children of a Lesser Python
		But arguably the single biggest mistake in the CPython platform as it exists today is the lack of a foreign function interface, defined by the language and expressable by Python code.
		CPython is basically a glue language for assembling programs from C libraries, and to the extent that Jython and IronPython are successful, it's because they're glue languages for assembling Java or CLR components.
		If the value of CPython comes from all the things that work with it today, then CPython is very close to being at a dead-end for further performance improvement.

	Ha-Hm
		A foreign function interface preprocessor for Haskell that simplifies the task of interfacing Haskell programs to external libraries.
		Haskell programs are composed solely of functions, with computation proceeding by replacing functional expressions with their values.
		Haskell is based on lambda calculus and is named for the logician Haskell B. Curry whose work provided much of the basis for the language.

	CMUCL: Supported platforms
		CMUCL is known not to run under libsafe, whose system call interposition mechanism interferes with the foreign function interface.
		CMUCL does not run on kernels with "hardening" patches such as grsecurity, since their all-the-world-is-C assumptions are too strong.
		There are problems running CMUCL on certain kernels that are built with address-space randomization techniques, such as certain Fedora kernels.

	GCL - GNU Common Lisp
		These efforts are good examples of GCL's foreign function interface, which is rather flexible due to its close relationship with C. Other Features:
