Summary: CLISP issues arg warning despite :allow-other-keys t

Initial Comment:
(compile nil (lambda () (directory "/" 'xach t :allow-other-keys t))) signals a full warning:

WARNING: keyword XACH is not allowed for function DIRECTORY.
         The only allowed keywords are :IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST, :CIRCLE and :FULL.

I expected no warning, because :allow-other-keys has a compile-time constant value of t.

Also, when putting :allow-other-keys before the unknown keyword, I get this warning:

WARNING: DIRECTORY: ignored keyword XACH T

I would most prefer no warning at all, because I'm trying to signal my intention to use an unknown-to-CLISP keyword argument by passing :allow-other-keys t. However, if there is a warning of some sort, it would be nice if it was a style warning, and it would also be nice if the warning it produced was consistent regardless of the order of the keyword arguments.
