In addition to quicklisp and ecl, the experimental environment has
packages and customizations for comfort.  I was able to install
quicklisp from the shell's sbcl prompt, but inside the Emacs environment
in slime-mode the sbcl gets stuck on calling `~/.sbclrc' whereas ecl
runs to completion.  The "experimental environment" has the ecl and
quicklisp components loaded in slime-mode.

A fragment of the customization relevant to the inferior-lisp-program context is,

  (setopt
   eshell-prefer-lisp-variables t
   eshell-prefer-lisp-functions t
  
   inferior-lisp-program "/usr/local/bin/ecl --norc"
   common-lisp-hyperspec-root
   "/u/van/lib/doc/lisp/HyperSpec-7-0/HyperSpec/"
   common-lisp-hyperspec-symbol-table
   "/u/van/lib/doc/lisp/HyperSpec-7-0/HyperSpec/Data/Map_Sym.txt"
  
   slime-lisp-implementations
   '((ecl ("/usr/local/bin/ecl"))
     (clisp ("/usr/pkg/bin/clisp"))
     (sbcl ("/usr/pkg/bin/sbcl") :coding-system utf-8-unix))
   slime-default-lisp 'ecl
   slime-contribs '(slime-fancy))
  
Sorry about the tangent.  Maybe, I need to track down imbalanced braces
in my configuration, that could be the cause for why emacs lisp byte
compile complains.
