Sorry, this is currently not possible. Using `foreign-primitive', one
can perform a normal CPS call (and hence, invoke the implicit
continuation `C_k' to return multiple values), but that wouldn't
perform foreign-type conversion.
Well, perhaps this can be extended. I check this out, but can't
guarantee a good fix yet.
