Does it really reduce code size to wrap the function instead of explicitly cast? I&#39;ve always believed that casts are mostly a compiler artifact coming from static typing, didn&#39;t usually generate complex code for runtime...<div>

&gt; Thank you Marc. Those are all better solutions than my wrapper function.<br>

</div>Actually, using a wrapper function is a good idea to reduce code size.  Its intricacies can be hidden in a macro which generates the appropriate Scheme and C code.  I&#39;ve written something like this in the past and even posted an example to the Gambit mailing list (unfortunately my mail system&#39;s search function is broken right now so I can&#39;t find the message).<br>
