This is not the right place to ask that.


https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clisp-devel

    This mailing list is for the developers of the CLISP implementation
    of ANSI Common Lisp.  It is the proper forum for enhancement
    requests, design discussions, source code patches, pre-release
    announcements, etc. and also for those support questions which are
    not appropriate for the users' list. 


https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clisp-list

    This mailing list is for users of the CLISP implementation of Common
    Lisp by Bruno Haible and Michael Stoll. It is the proper forum for
    questions about CLISP and also bug reports, compatibility issues,
    problems of CLISP on specific platforms, enhancement of CLISP,
    miscellaneous comments, etc. 

Stretching it, your question could enter the "miscellaneous comments"
category, but since it really has nothing to do with clisp specifically,
but more with Common Lisp in general, you should be asking it on:
news://comp.lang.lisp


&key is described in chapter "5. Functions" of "Practical Common Lisp".
Lambda Lists are explained in section "3.4 Lambda Lists" of CLHS.
