Thanks for posting this file. It seems to work as intended
for SBCL but Clisp and GCL complain (with a runtime error)
about the float / array punning. Sigh. I don't often wish that
Maxima were written in C but this is one of those days ....

If CFFI were working, I guess we could just call out to
a C function.
