I agree that SYS:*INHIBIT-DISPLACING-FLAG* should default to T, and should
be in Profile.
While I would like to see the Explorer catch the error of referring to an
internal symbol with a single colon name, I very much hope that it doesn't
fall into the error handler, as most other implementations annoyingly do, but
rather, when I type FOO:BAR I hope it says "There is no external symbol BAR in
package FOO. Do you mean FOO::BAR? (Y or N) ". It really bugs me that so
many "powerful" systems waste my time paging and fussing to fall into a
compilcated, screen trashing error handler for such a trivial error. Most of
them don't then even have a "I meant FOO::BAR" proceed option!
