If you are using CLisp, I think we have just found a reason why it
might not be the best candidate for a new CL-based Lisp Engine after
all.
On the idea of replacement Lisp Engines, has anyone considered using
a Lisp to C compiler so that a large part of the core functionality
can be written in Lisp and then translated to C.
Take a look at CLiCC (http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~wg/clicc.html).
It reads a subset of CLtL1 (called CL_0) and CLOS (called CLOS_0) and
translates it into a stylized version of C (heavy use of C macros).
Note that only CLiCC 0.6.2 is capable of compiling itself into a
command line executable.
