     Your immediate need sounds like a "fasdmping" facility would suffice
     ("fasdmp" is Lisp Machine terminology).  CLtL/II page 659 presents a
     function MAKE-LOAD-FORM invented for just this purpose.

     I don't suppose that any commercial CLOS in the field right now
     actually has that implemented, since it was added rather late in the
     X3J13 game.

Harlequin Lispworks has an implementation of MAKE-LOAD-FORM which works.
