We have generally overridden the inf-lisp/ilisp bindings so they are
not supposed to work. This is because they talk directly to
*inferior-lisp* and aren't consistent with SLIME's style.

It was confusing before when people would accidentally use non-SLIME
commands thinking they belonged to SLIME and get weird results.

`C-c C-a' we have currently reserved for future use; C-c C-c should
compile the definition at point.

I added bindings for C-{up,down} since comint-mode also provides these
in addition to M-{n,p}.
