ACL 8.1 doesn't seem to implement a function STREAM-FILE-POSITION,
despite the referenced documentation. When ACL tries to import
*gray-stream-symbols* from EXCL, it fails to find that function. In
analogy to the conditionals for :stream-line-length, I made
:stream-file-position conditional in the list of *gray-stream-symbols*
in swank-backend.lisp. I offer the difference below, but don't know if
that's the best approach.

Thanks,

Steve
