yes.

wrt ANSI CL compliance - probably minor.
wrt extensions - probably pretty significant.

either one is good enough.
try both, see which feels right.

print is a standard ansi cl function.
do not redefine it.
$ clisp file
loads file.fas or file.lisp or file.
it means that it evaluates every form in it, one by one.
