Thanks for the warning! And noted, we will avoid using raw::free-an-object. Reading the documentation and experimenting around a bit, it seems that LispWorks can garbage collect the static vector on its own. That's great, and in contrast to certain other implementations which require manual free-ing.

This function should free an array allocated with static-vectors:make-static-vector. On LispWorks, static-vectors:make-static-vector uses make-array with :allocation :static. Then, what should be an appropriate definition for free-static-vector? I discovered raw::free-an-object that does what is intended. Does anyone know if there's a better candidate for the job?
