This seems overly pedantic to me.

You may not like the API, but unlike WITH-WORLD-LOCK it is actually a
supported API It's one of the three constructs that should almost
never be used along with WITHOUT-GCING and WITH-TIMEOUT.

Unless it made the sources too ugly, I would not hesitate to rename it
%%WITH-WORLD-LOCK-INTERNAL-DONT-USE-AND-AVOID-EVEN-INSIDE-SBCL...
