here's the docstring for list-callers:

--------------------------------------------------
List the callers of FUNCTION-NAME.
This function is like WHO-CALLS except that it is expected to use
lower-level means. Whereas WHO-CALLS is usually implemented with
special compiler support, LIST-CALLERS is usually implemented by
groveling for constants in function objects throughout the heap.

The return value is as for WHO-CALLS.
--------------------------------------------------

anybody remember why we make this distinction?
