Given that there is no lomger a cl-markdown project on common-lisp.net 
(there may have once been) amd the fact that quicklisp tries to build 
cl-markdown by installing a tarball contaiinng Darcs netainfolrmation 
from 2008 or so. I suspect that the problem here hss more to do with 
that bitrot than it has to do with handling of OPTIMIZE declarations.
