by a cell whose second word is a pointer. The first word has the
scm_tc7_foreign typecode and type of the aliased (pointed-to) value in its

The basic idea is that we can help the programmer to avoid cutting herself,

heap allocation. That means we need native Scheme formats for all kinds of
arguments.
For "value" types like s64 or f32, we just use native Scheme value types.
(Note that in both these cases, allocation is possible / likely, as the
value might need to be boxed, but perhaps we won't worry about that. Hmm.)
For everything else, we use foreign pointers. This includes arrays, pointer
arguments and return vals, struct args and return vals, and out and in/out
arguments.
