Addendum ...
If all you're saying is that people shouldn't write optimizers
on functions they didn't write, I'm happy to stipulate that.
I don't want this facility so that people can optimize
STRING-APPEND. I want it so that I can write a window system
with functions that take hairy keyword arguments and I can
still optimize those functions (which I wrote, and for which
the system will have no conflicting operators anyway) efficiently.
