Hello, the attached patch adds MEMQ. I think that MEMQ is popular and useful enough that it should be part of Alexandria.

I'm think going to decline this for now. As Tobias notes, the only real use-case is micro-optimizing performance / line-length.

I'll try to find time to open up Byzantium for all the stuff kept out of Alexandria for now.

Out of curiosity, where outside old pre codebases originating from pre-ANSI days like do you see MEMQ? AFAIK it and ASSQ &co are relics of a bygone age.

GBBopen, openmcl, clocc(ytools), sbcl(but it may be a pre-ANSI relic), hemlock, cl-yacc, perhaps others
