    In Symbolics 3600 Zwei in System 242.356, Hardcopy 20.10, FEP 18, on Lisp Machine Jimi Hendrix:

    Is there any way to get (progn 'compile <forms> to grind as

    (progn 'compile
      (form-1)
      ...
      (form-n))

    instead of either
    (progn
      'compile
      (form-1)
      ...
      (form-n)) or 
    (progn 'compile
	   (form-1)
	   ...
	   (form-n))

In Release 5 (aka 242.356) there isn't a way that I know of.  Because of Common Lisp,
in Release 6 you won't need the 'compile, so you can just write

  (progn
    (form-1)
    ...
    (form-n))
