One thing which is definitely a regression, though not sufficiently
clearly revealed by testing during the freeze period, is that sbcl-1.1.6
cannot compile SVREF and (SETF SVREF) of symbol macros.  This
unfortunate bug can make it less than suitable some uses, and affects a
number of libraries in quicklisp among other things.
