Will it work with plisp? The following is an excerpt


http://www.nocrew.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/emacs-cl/README?rev=1.23

There are problems with the cl:function macro when its output appears
in compiled files:

 * When applied to a byte-code function the result will be printed
   with the #[...] syntax.  That works, but separate invokations of
   cl:function will result in distinct, though equal, code vectors.

 * When's applied to a subr, the result will be printed with the
   #<subr ...> syntax, which will raise a syntax error when loaded.

In general, Emacs' byte compiler doesn't preserve object identity,
which is a problem.

Probably not.  Emacs Common Lisp is too buggy to work with anything
but trivial snippets of code.

Not a  reason not to try!  Let's  people find these bugs  and send you
patches! :-)
