[NSApplication sharedApplication] fails, the selector is not recognized:

Why a NS-NUMBER? It's specified to return a :pointer.

In another image, under slime, the same defcfun and class-get-class-method form return:

 #<ns-date 2001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (#x7FFF23B29EE5)>

Hmm, I wonder if that wouldn't be related to an optimization in Cocoa that would represent NSNumber and NSDate as tagged pointers? But shouldn't ccl wrap them in MacPtr anyways? https://www.programmersought.com/article/14554753265/
