 The arguments to a C function may be integers, floating point numbers,
-pointers, and structs.  From Scheme they are all represented as foreign
+pointers, and structs.  Numbers are passed using their normal Scheme
+representations, and pointers and structs are represented as foreign
 objects.  Foreign objects can be converted back and forth to/from a

+guardian.
 
 The `(system foreign)' API is currently low-level and possibly
 inconvenient.  It will be extended to provide higher-level constructs.
