For Current Practice:
Lucid CL also implements the proposed behavior.
For Cost to Users:
Users who define their own #P read macro may be unhappy.
I weakly support this change. I wish someone would make a proposal
for generic pathnames. I don't think they ever got the consideration
they deserved. (I know they aren't really related to this issue,
except insofar as users would like to have portable pathnames in their
programs.)
