This has been discussed at length on the list at one stage and the short answer is ‘no’. If you have to use LW then linking an external dynamic library is the right solution, but if you keep finding yourself having to do low level stuff all the time, then ECL would be your best bet. SBCL has some low level primitives that may work for the purpose but I cannot comment on that as I haven’t used them.
