I think this isn't a good idea. Here's an example:

(defmethod expand-to-foreign-dyn (value var body (name (eql :string)))
   (if <string's size is appropriate for stack allocation>
       `(with-foreign-string (,var ,value)
          , at body)
       *runtime-translator-form*))

Surely we want free-translated-object to be called in this case.

Or did I miss something?
