The translation looks like there's no longer a Primitive that extends
LispObject.
How do you then pass the primitive as one? Like passing EQ/EQUAL/EQUALP
to FIND/POSITION family of functions? Or user-defined functions that take
functions, and you don't know the type and must box it (aka pass it as
a LispObject)?
Do we generate wrappers on the fly?
