Also, I just found a hilarious --apparently universal-- bug in this area:

Just ignore me. I need more coffee.

The universal behaviour is correct: a compiler-macro lambda-list is a /macro/ lambda list, after all.

Interestingly enough, that also means that there is no ways to use &KEY to specify non-keyword keyword arguments in a compiler-macro lambda-list that doesn't run roughshod across the evaluation model.
