Well, it is not a read-eval-print-loop -- it is not
interactive or a loop and the code has to explicit print
something.  But yes the expression does get read, compiled
and executed.  SBCL is forked from CMUCL so they share most
of their behavior.

right, I was just referring to REPL because obviously that S-expression is scripted in.  It's not going through the standard REPL at all, but a sort of a variant of it.  Perhaps just RE :-)
