I had a brief play this afternoon: loading src/cold/chill.lisp from an
sbcl tree, and defining translations for "SYS", is sufficient for
interactive development with sbcl.  Without chill.lisp, indeed, there
are reader errors and package errors aplenty: some thought probably
needs to be spent if we want this to work 'out of the box', without
the user needing to load chill.lisp.

Cheers,

Christophe

  experimental sbcl has built. ]
