Sure, but it's not clear that you should always be importing into
CL-USER, yes?  CL-USER is a kind of scratch package.  If you're going
to do something complex, where conflicts are an issue, maybe you need
to make your own top-level package where you can more carefully
control the imports (and possibly have stuff that shadows built-ins).

Yes, I know it's a PITA, but sometimes it's the best one can do.
