Yes and no. Anything sane and sensible is welcome, but the
license of On Lisp examples is not suitable: verbatim copies
are not acceptable unless you get PG to pass the relevant bits
into Public Domain -- independent re-implementation is required.
(For trivial stuff that has been part of the Lisp folklore forever
this can be waived, I should think.)

Also, remember that anaphoric macros, continuations, etc. are out of 
scope for Alexandria.
