We thought brielfly about such issues and decided that we would quickly go mad
if we tried to avoid stepping on symbols (or ways of using them) for
every other Lisp-like language.  That's why there are packages.  The
Common Lisp top-level will not mess around with the value of SCHEME:*,
etc.  Customize the scheme symbols any way you want, and import from
the LISP package those things that happen to be right.
