Of course my LispWorks system supports all of the above..
It does not do 'symmetric' multiprocessing if that is what you mean.
I might add that none of these things are a part of the C standard either.
That hasn't prevented C from being a popular language.
Common Lisp is just a common denominator for Lisp's. Commercial versions  
like LispWorks and ACL come with large libraries in addition to ANSI  
Common Lisp.
As it is - it is strong enough to write real applications today.
