As of revision 491, I added a configure option --enable-checking for
requesting runtime checking of Lisp codes, e.g. (proclaim '(optimize
(safety 3))). 
That has the side effect of dramatically increasing the overall
compilation time.  In return, you get to know about bugs you did not
suspect or did not want to know about.
