  it doesn't?  it does for me.

  no.

  try (#+allegro #L"sys:foobar.cl") in MCL.  if it doesn't fail, it's
  because #L means something else in MCL than in ACL, and once you go down
  that _road_, you realize that yours is a really dangerous assumption.

  the solution is to make a reader for #_ with #-mcl in front of it.
