The LAP notation and the various defXlapfunction macros are not documented.  There are numerous examples of its use in CCL's sources.  The files in ccl:level-0;X86 contain a lot of LAP.  When writing LAP, you need to think constantly about GC-safety.  Section 17.2.3 of the manual talks about this a little bit.

Play around with it if you like, but it's pretty easy to mess up. You really do need to be familiar with the details of how CCL is implemented in order to write LAP successfully.

It's not possible to mix LAP and lisp code in the same function.
