Do I need to make some more retching noises? :-) :-)
Seriously, I think this whole discussion is wandering off track. The
real question is whether it is legal to put a circular object in a
constant seen by COMPILE-FILE. It either is, or it isn't.
Introducing a mechanism that might make it possible for compilers to
process some constants more efficiently is a separate, and I think
secondary issue.
