Well, no... but it's a somewhat "glass half-empty" way of saying it.
I would instead note that "nothing interesting at runtime" is a *good*
thing, since it's just that much more runtime *saved* for real work.  ;-}

Or even better, say that CL-WHO and HTOUT (& friends) were designed
with Common Lisp compilation in mind, and work hard to do as much
as possible at compile time [and at macroexpansion time even before
that] so that they have as little as possible to do at runtime.
