You cannot ignore it, this is forbidden by the standard.  You cannot, in
a conforming program, define a function with defun, labels or flet named
with a symbol from the CL package (and not only symbols defined by the
standard as functions, but ALL of them!)

  * (flet ((*print-readably* () 'hi))  (*print-readably*))  

is not conforming.


What you can do however, is to shadow the cl:+ symbol, and use your own
symbol named "+":

    (defpackage "MY-PACKAGE" 
        (:use "CL")
        (:shadow "+"))
    (in-package "MY-PACKAGE)

    (defun + (&rest args) 
       (apply (function cl:+) args))

    (defmethod plus ((p1 string) (p2 string))
      (concatenate 'string p1 p2))

    (labels ((+ (&rest rest)
      (reduce #'plus rest)))
      (+ "clozure" " common" " lisp"))

is perfectly conforming:  my-package::+ is not cl:+.
