[cffi-devel] minor UI inconsistency

I think it'd be better to have

with-foreign-object (var type &key (count 1)) &body body

or even

with-foreign-object (var type options) &body body

(where options are used as keyword arguments to foreign-alloc) or some
such instead of

with-foreign-object (var type &optional (count 1)) &body body

given that we have

foreign-alloc type &key initial-element initial-contents (count 1)

Unless I'm thoroughly confused and with-foreign-object does not
correspond to foreign-alloc (as with-open-file corresponds to open).
