I don't think the "against that" part is true (any longer?). We have been talking about adding read-time conditionalization in Clojure 1.4: http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Cross-Dialect+Enhancements AFAIK nobody has taken any time to look at it, other than a hand-waving "start by presuming Common Lisp syntax and approach is decent and see where that falls down." Would love to leave the Conj with this done, or with somebody fired up to do it.
