See this section of CLTL2
https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/node191.html
See how some combinations are explicitly reserved for the user. Stick
to those.

No, but it's like libraries using
(intern (format nil "~a~a" "foo" "bar"))
They're not making life easier for their users in that respect.

I explained how they are already "broken". In CL (the topic of this
particular subthread), by packages and in every language that has any
type of indirection. I'm saying they were never really "good" to begin
with, not if you want to use the full available power in those
languages.

Yes there are, and you shouldn't give them up, by any means.
