Hmn, this leads to the following question.  Does Lucid have a
COMMON-LISP-USER package?  The problem I was trying to solve was that
CMU Lisp no longer has a user package, and the code I have solves that
by making USER a nickname for COMMON-LISP-USER, which someone has
described as violating the spirit of the standard.  It's also
non-portable the way it's done and the standard specifically says that
it doesn't have to work (though it seems to work everywhere it's
used).

Maybe I should leave well-enough alone?
