CL-USER is a package that USEs COMMON-LISP, not a package that exports
the symbols of COMMON-LISP. I don't think CL demands that CL-USER
doesn't export any symbols, so it's possible some implementations
decide to make it export interesting things.

Here's another good thing to know, in case you want to write CLIM
applications: don't USE the COMMON-LISP package, USE the CLIM-LISP
package instead. You still have to USE the CLIM package and anything
else you're interested in.
