Presumably some lisp package needs this, as with the ":safe" and
":risky" keywords.  What's our plan to deal with these functions in
21.4?  I'm becoming increasingly likely to move 21.4 from stable to
obsolete.  I don't really see much benefit to forcing package updates
to support 21.4.

Provocatively yours,
