Which Lisp?

CMUCL and SBCL use source-paths to find sources, but they can become
stale if the file has been edited since compilation. The CMUCL backend
does some special caching to reduce the number of bad cases (possibly
introducing some other ones of course..)

If you do `C-c C-k' to recompile the file then the source locations
should become properly synchronized. With CMUCL this updates the cache
and finding definitions should continue to work even after heavily
hacking the source file.
