This reminds me to ask/suggest that the contents of 'patches.lisp'
should be merged back onto the original sources that are being
patched. Surely this way of patching the Lisp code should be avoided
since it negates most advantages of source code control and makes the
actual function of significant parts of the code more obscure.
