Comment (by aruttenberg):

 BTW, I don't buy that I should have to use truename every time I use a URI
 to get appropriate behavior with a URI. I don't have to do that every time
 I use a file name. However, it is reasonable to have, in addition to
 normal behavior, the ability to use truename to retrieve the final
 redirected-to URI, if your application wants to know it. In most cases it
 doesn't care.

 While I think your concerns about security are well-motivated, I think
 they are out of place here. Common lisp was not engineered for security,
 and bits and pieces here and there being secure won't change that. If
 there's a need for a more secure use of common lisp that needs to be
 implemented by some package, with a new set of APIs and documentation
 explaining what the "secure" package brings to the table.
