Well, since implicit_plot is just one Lisp file, and draw contains a lot
of Lisp, one could avoid this particular error by putting in suitable CL
package incantations. It's just necessary to define a symbol package for
each one, put (in-package :my-package) in each Lisp file, and (I think)
export the user-visible functions or other symbols. It is just a small
matter of programming.
