This replicates a lot of code from DEF in alexandria's list.lisp.

I'm looking at this, as at today:

http://common-lisp.net/project/alexandria/darcs/alexandria/lists.lisp

Why not bundle your function into that def macrolet form?

I never realised that lastcar was safe. Should there be a safe- prefix?
That was we can also rename lastcons to safe-last, the safe counterpart
of cl:last.
