Fare, could you please go back to the other method I posted. This one does
not allow one to *CHANGE* the way COMPILE-FILE* behaves.

I profoundly dislike generic functions API precisely for this reason. There
is a base function, someone adds an around method and what about the next
around? How do you remove the previous one?

The other solution based on a simple closure is simpler, has a smaller
overhead and allows one to fall back to the original method, reinstating
COMPILE-FILE* definition.
