BTW, why do you insist on this ugly |notation|?
One of the features of CLISP packages is that it's not needed (as long =
as you use the package prefix).

While we are at it, I believe CLISP's impnotes to be incomplete w.r.t. =
defpackage.

CLHS says "If the new definition is at variance with the current state =
of that package, the consequences are undefined; an implementation =
might choose to modify the existing package to reflect the new =
definition."

CLISP impnotes do not specify what happens.
For instance, linux.lisp and wrap.lisp both contain DEFPACKAGE "LINUX".
