Is there some reason this stuff doesn't use MAKE-LOAD-FORM et al, as
defined in CLtL2?  The use of the two facilities is essentially the
same, except that MAKE-LOAD-FORM handles circularities, and allows the
user to extend the facility, for example, to deal with user-defined
metaclasses.

Also, given that CL compilers must handle "similarity as constants",
as defined in CLtL2, this functionality can be implemented completely
portably with a small amount of code.
