    This proposal isn't merely an ADDITION -- it is an incompatible CHANGE,
    since CLtL explicitly states that the output of MAKE-STRING is a simple
    string.

It is not an incompatible change.  No portable program will stop working
on account of this change, because no portable program will use the newly
added feature.  I have no comment on the rest of your comments and don't
care much about this issue, since we are way past the point of adding
useful things to Common Lisp.
