That's not true.  CL:READ-SEQUENCE is blocking, but LISTEN works on binary streams so implementing a non-blocking version is an elementary exercise.

Genuine deficiencies in the CL spec that cannot be fixed at the user level, usually with minimal effort, are extremely rare.  In my entire career I have only ever encountered a single example (figuring out what it is is left as an exercise).
