It depends on the source of the error in the Slime code. If
these array literals are not evaluated, could it be an
indicator of a problem that would show up in other contexts?
If so, then developers might spend time attempting to track
down an error in their code that does not exist -- the error
might be an evaluation problem in Slime. It is useful to
have this problem identified because it localizes the
problem to a small area (which could then be repaired),
rather than having it as a symptom in a larger expression.

If this evaluation problem turns out NOT to be resolvable,
then it could be added to a list of Known Problems section
in the Slime info manual so that others can look it up and
not report it again.
