I'll do a version based on read time evaluation first because it looks like the easiest thing to do. I'm going to want to experiment with the macro expanding to a LOCALLY expression anyway, for my own edification, so maybe I'll put together two different versions...

I suggest taking a page from GBBopen's book and using something like:

(defmacro with-standard-optimization (&body body) `(locally (declare (optimize (speed 1) (safety 3) (debug 1))) ,@body))

(defun foo () (with-standard-optimization ...))

this has the advantage of not requiring the read time evaluation of #. which some view as a security risk.

I have to admit that I find the #. approach more aesthetically pleasing - one reason is that it doesn't introduce a new level of nesting.

I fail to see the security risk - we're not talking about data entered from a random website or somesuch.
