Well, the compiler breaks. First, ECL barfs on methods without
arguments. This can be worked around with some #+ecl kludges, but
later an internal compiler error is triggered.

Below is a half working GCL backend.  To make it work you have to
disable some of the tests in swank.lisp and add this to your
.swank.lisp:

  #+gcl
  (progn
    (setq swank::*use-dedicated-output-stream* nil)
    (setq swank::*redirect-io* nil))
