Are they identical in terms of args and return values, so this is
almost idiotproof (me being the idiot in question)?

Given that I cannot wait, it seems that the best thing is to patch the
source to CLX (as in your first suggestion) in my .sbcl/site
directory, yes?

And if I do patch, is there anything I can do (no matter how trivial,
like sending the single-line patch) to help expedite the fix of CLX?
What would the correct (convention-wise) '#' directive be, as a
function of SBCL implementation and release/version number?

Thanks for the prompt, bulls-eye response.
