Zach: so now I can replace *system-definition-search-functions* with something else that I defvar instead of defparameter. Problem being backward compatibility, which pretty much requires squashing the old symbol or its contents. I propose I create a new variable that is defvar'ed, and either use it and ignore the old variable, or append its content in front of the previous variable, or use (or new-var old-var) to prefer it, or put at the proper end of one a function that chains into the other. What do you think for the sake of Quicklisp?
I see no reason to change the current behavior at this time.
