It looks like you're right. Good detective work, it would have taken
me forever and a half to figure this out. Thanks!

Well, if you're not sure then I am even less so.

Indeed. Or perhaps Quicklisp itself should include
#cmu (require :gray-streams)
in its setup code. Zach Beane seems to be on this list, so maybe he
will notice this discussion and decide if something needs doing.

As for my own problem, my workaround for now will be to load
gray-streams before quicklisp.
