Geez. If you fall asleep around here you miss everything.

One property of that change is that duplicate definitions in multiple
files are detected at compile-time when WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT is
in effect; if "home:a.lisp" and "home:b.lisp" both define FOO, then:

? (with-compilation-unit ()
   (compile-file "home:a")
   (compile-file "home:b"))
;Compiler warnings for "home:b.lisp.newest" :
;   In an anonymous lambda form at position 0: Duplicate definitions of FOO, in this file and in "home:a.lisp.newest"
