You basically need to deal with the part of the compiler that interns
constants: add-object, and similar stuff. The real problem is to get it
right, as in the case of having a tree in which one element of the tree
needs to be created with make-load-form. And even worse when that tree
is a circular structure. I still do not know what we are supposed to do
then. CMUCL signals an error in that case but I do not think this is the
solution.
