    I don't see any question here.  MY-PACKAGE:CONS is a different symbol
    from LISP:CONS, and you can give it whatever definition you want.  This
    doesn't even confuse macros, since they deal in symbols and not print
    names.

It's sort of like a neutron bomb:
Machines survive fine; only people are confused.
