Its "notes" are also very helpful once you get to the stage of
speeding up your code. At least for the declaration-insertion
part.

Is consing really making a big difference to your speed?
(Hazy memory says this is less likely with ACL than with
CMUCL; mostly because ACL's GC is very good, though the
excellence of CMU's code generation may also have something
to do with it.)
