Oops.  I keep forgeting that ecl ignores optimize proclaims
made before loading compiler.  If I repeat proclaim and
compilation the second compilation indeed produces
optimized output.  Sorry for the noise, I am trying to
find out why some bigger code is not optimized and
now it looks that problem is on my side (bigger code is
doing proclamation after loading compiler, but I had
another bug in my code).
