 Original statement of problem:

 So if you want to do something like use uiop/stream:copy-file which does
 something like open the source,  open the dest, read/write, it will not do
 what you might expect. I don't see a way of controlling this behavior.
 Arguably the default ought to be to follow redirects and open the
 redirected-to file.
