Note that if you modify your copy of CLisp, you would essentially
be requiring everybody who would be interested in your experiments
to modify their copy of CLisp.  That is not a scalable solution.
I would suggest you write your own little library (in Lisp if necessary)
and load it into your OpenAxiom session.  That way, people who
can't modify their copies of CLisp (for various reasons) can still
experiment with your framework.
