If that's all you're doing, probably.  (FIND-PACKAGE certainly needs
to be advised somehow, or else nicknames need to be added to the
existing packages).  I don't know how much you are willing to cater
for the possibility of people working on more than just sbcl in the
same slime session, though -- consider the possible confusing bug
reports (though this of course cuts both ways...)

Cheers,
