No.

Currently it is not.  My take on this is that AllegroCL's "modern
mode" is not ANSI-compliant and thus nothing to lose sleep over.  I
have never used it and probably never will.

I'd be willing to accept clean[*] patches to make Hunchentoot work
with "modern mode", but only if they don't make the code more
complicated or less flexible and general.

Cheers,
Edi.
