JCB complains that requiring UIOP:RESTART-IMAGE causes MKCL somehow to end up sucking the compiler into programs, causing severe bloat.
Can we provide an option to PROGRAM-OP that does *not* invoke RESTART-IMAGE, satisfying him, but keeping the default behavior that all applications restart identically?
Yes, that's totally legitimate and desirable as a non-default extension.
Now that ECL and MKCL support have been merged, it was easy enough to implement this feature portably — test included (of course, before it was tested, it was completely buggy).
Please try the program-system class with :no-uiop option in 3.1.0.105.
