IMO i's a good idea to look in alexandria or other such utility libraries (I like serapeum) for these sorts of things.

phantomics: What would be the point of breaking backward compatibility for the very minor convenience to a very small number of users of Common Lisp?

I think I found the one good use for SIMPLE-BASE-STRING: one can scan at about 11 Gcharacters/second with BASE-CHAR, as opposed to "only" 4.7 Gcharacters/second with CHARACTER, because one can stuff more characters in a vector register.

Now that you mention it, I guess my Xorg.0.log nearly fits in L1 cache then (just 2KB short or so). Though I don't think I'm memory bound still.

- I had tried Paredit, Lispy, and 2 other similar packages ... too complicated, (and lispy too restrictive) - I hate them;there's also smartparens or smth like that, some people like to build atomic bombs to kill a fly; what always strikes me that usually those are exactly the people that don't know about the built-in "emacs" way of doing it
