Interesting!  That would certainly make getting ANSI working simpler -
only one Boot->Lisp translation to clean up.  If the SPAD compiler is
itself written in Boot, that might solve both problems (doubt it, but
maybe...)  I had the boottocl in the src/boot directory running in sbcl
at one point, but I never did figure out if it was working correctly. 
I doubt it was generating loadable lisp :-(

You're doing some really exciting work Gaby - thank you!
