Hmm, okay.  It seems to be sufficient to allow me to begin developing
my app, which solves my immediate problem.

I do think that it's unfortunate that one can't get a working Weblocks
on CLSQL via Quicklisp (alone).  It looks like the ways this could be
dealt with are:

(0) Live with the restrictions/bugs imposed by WITH-DATABASE.

(1) Persuade Kevin Rosenberg that this problem needs to be solved in
CLSQL, either by merging CLSQL-Fluid or perhaps some other way.

(2) Fork CLSQL.

I understand that (0) is undesirable, and (2) is not so great either.
Has much effort been put towards (1)?  Whoever modified the CLiki page
(Kevin?) thinks that the primary issue is thread safety -- which was
my initial impression as well.  It turns out that's just one problem;
the other one, as you say, is lazy initialization of join slots.  This
problem is not Weblocks-specific, correct?
