Great, thanks. It looks like you yourself do not use these features.
I also remember that you do not use SLIME. What is your development
technique? How do you find errors?

P.S.

Using your commit as a starting point for search, I found a way to
override optimization settings in all the libraries, and compile
everything with DEBUG 3 level.

I post it here so other people may find it.

;; load compiler module if it isn't loaded yet
(require 'cmp)

;; remember original function called by compiler
;; to determine optimization settings of code
;; being compiled
(setf original-optimization-quality 
      #'c::search-optimization-quality)

;; provide our own function that ignores optimization
;; settings of the code being compiled and always
;; returns DEBUG 3 level
(defun my-optimization-quality (declarations what)
  (case what
    (debug 3)
    (speed 0) 
    (safety 0) 
    (space 0)
    (otherwise (c::default-optimization what))))

(setf (symbol-function 'c::search-optimization-quality)
      #'my-optimization-quality)

;; compile hunchentoot and dependencies;
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :hunchentoot-test)

;; restore original function if you want
(setf (symbol-function 'c::search-optimization-quality)
      original-optimization-quality)
