I do not agree with this change. It causes breakage when presentations are used within quoted lists, for instance.

CL-USER> (find-class 'standard-object) #<STANDARD-CLASS STANDARD-OBJECT> CL-USER> '(1 2 #<STANDARD-CLASS STANDARD-OBJECT> 3 4) (1 2 '#<STANDARD-CLASS STANDARD-OBJECT> 3 4) CL-USER>

Can you think of a way to make it work for either case? Evaluating lists-as-presentations is annoying.
