A new version of FFI-Callbacks was added to project FFI Inbox:
http://source.squeak.org/FFIinbox/FFI-Callbacks-mt.8.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: FFI-Callbacks-mt.8
Author: mt
Time: 1 May 2021, 9:32:35.005521 am
UUID: c855a635-3cb2-1543-bb07-5c9d637df03d
Ancestors: FFI-Callbacks-mt.7

In callbacks. resolve one level of indirection so that callbacks can directly work with atomic values or instances of external structures.

This might conflict with the current lack of support for n-ary pointer types.
