Helmut implemented what seemed like an elegant solution to this issue
back in 2014:
<https://github.com/slime/slime/commit/74ef7010d79fad14db43d6ff989f177a7a8986b5>

Sadly, it had to be reverted because ran into SBCL's compiler lock.
<https://github.com/slime/slime/commit/f63fd440f1beeadd155b871f5d9fc8729c2dfc0d>

Perhaps you can come up with a solution? Perhaps there's a way to
force compilation of these methods ahead of time? Something else?
