While on the topic of symbols and such, I have a question
about EVAL-WHEN. Does it only allow LISP:EVAL, LISP:COMPILE
and LISP:LOAD, or does it only check the print-name?
I think it should check print-names, so you can
shadow these symbols. Otherwise, you would be forced
to add the package prefix in all the EVAL-WHEN forms.
Now that you mention it: EVAL, COMPILE, and LOAD should have been
keywords.
