Both ContextL and Closer to MOP use lw-compat in a few places, so I  
would indeed need to provide duplicate functionality in both  
projects. That's not so nice, especially because LispWorks already  
provides these operators.

I actually would like to keep this separation. What specific problems  
do you encounter? (Maybe you can convince me that it is indeed too  
much of a hassle...)
