FWIW, it sounds to me like a distinction made for different lisps; some have better support than others for this sort of thing, n'est pas?

here's the docstring for list-callers:
List the callers of FUNCTION-NAME. This function is like WHO-CALLS except that it is expected to use lower-level means. Whereas WHO-CALLS is usually implemented with special compiler support, LIST-CALLERS is usually implemented by groveling for constants in function objects throughout the heap.
The return value is as for WHO-CALLS.
anybody remember why we make this distinction?
