Hi,

SBCL does not do it by default, so maybe we should respect the default
behaviour of the compiler instead.

I'll go ahead and apply the patch then.  Update SBCL to 1.5.6 and use
CLISP or ECL to build it instead of CCL which is not bootstrappable.

> Also, as an aside, I am tracking Next; thank you for this project!

Thanks!  Lots of good stuff will come this month!
(1.3.1 released today!)

Cheers!
