Robert,

we'll see what we can do to make this generic.  Just downcasing the CL
package prefixes in fi-stella might do the trick (you could try that
and let me know whether it worked).  I don't think you can use the
#:cl syntax, since that just gives you an uninterned symbol as opposed
to one that's interened in the CL package.  But maybe I'm missing
something here.  Anyway, we'll have a look.
