I can appreciate the desire for Lisp systems to have some form of
Quicklisp integration, but I am reluctant to see divergence of
instructions like this. I really like that the instructions for everyone
are the same, instead of "On ECL, use (require :ecl-quicklisp),
otherwise on XYCL, use (require :xy-quicklisp), otherwise download and
load this file..." Same with instructions for loading things. "If you're
on ECL, use REQUIRE, otherwise use QL:QUICKLOAD, otherwise..."
