Do you still think so? I'm ready to rerefactor it, if you are agree that 
above approach is better.

You pointed here - 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.steel-bank.general/1400/ - that "the 
code
has lost quite a bit of its original elegance". It's true. Now we have 
new entities appeared in
the library "world" only for optimization. And all optimization is to 
make decision only once,
instead of making it every time when character is read.
