For SLIME patches I recommend using APPEND and generally endulging in
writing easy/fun/cute code without caring a hoot about efficiency
unless and until it's observably slow.

Be warned, I have a history of rewriting carefully optimised code to
be more cutely inefficient whenever the actual speed difference isn't
perceptible. Better to have the fun yourself :-)

P.S., I just got back from out of town and found more SLIME email than
work email. There're a shirtload of us these days, very cool!
