Ok, I'll try this step by step approach then. The gensym shadowing looks
promising though: just by adding "GENSYM" to *shadows* in
set-up-cold-packages, sbcl/clisp goes from 97 different files to 44 and
sbcl/ecl goes from 115 different files to 88. But I guess that this kind
of modifications needs heavy testing.
