The InsideMz manual says:

  void *scheme_malloc_fail_ok(void *(*mallocf)(size_t size), size_t size)

  Attempts to allocate size bytes using mallocf. If the allocation
  fails, the exn:misc:out-of-memory exception is raised.

On things like this, the Foreign manual is simply exposing stuff from
inside mzscheme, so the documentation is better placed there.
