Don't add any of these kludges, and instead reorganize code such that EVAL-WHEN is not sprinkled throughout the code.

E.g., all code that's needed in the compilation stage goes into files separate from run-time code, with only one EVAL-WHEN per file. This has the additional advantage that one can easily test whether the stages are properly separated by just loading the "compilation stage" files. IOW, let's pretend CL had proper stage separation.
