  well, from that follows the requirements _in the FFI_, but not the native
  representation.  I see no reason whatsoever to require the native Common
  Lisp system to represent arrays or matrices like this, but it is obvious
  that the ability to access arrays or matrices represented like this from
  Common Lisp when they were declared/created/whatever from or in the FFI,
  is a requirement of the system as a whole.
