Look in ansi-tests/cl-symbol-names.lsp for the variables
cl-test::*cl-macro-symbols* and cl-test::*cl-special-operator-symbols*.
These contain the names of the standardized macros and special
operators.  The *f macros are in the former list; SETQ is in the
latter.

What do you need this for?  The user can define his own *f macros,
so detecting side effects at compile time will require macroexpansion
in any case.
