I'm not sure that I do this literally, but there are places where I
return bytevectors or buffers, the concept is the same. Create
extractors for the data from the bytevectors, using ffi-bind as
appropriate. The basic idea is that you have a block of bytes that
needs to be converted, so do the conversion in Scheme once the struct
is returned.
