There is at least one implementation, where this is wrong: Eclipse
Common Lisp compiles Common Lisp functions to C functions, which can be
linked against other C/C++ code.  Eclipse is a very reasonably priced
commercial CL implementation available for Win32 and Linux, IIRC.  Take
a look at http://www.elwood.com/eclipse/ for more information.

IIRC there is also EcoLisp, which does similar things, but I don't
know any details...

Regs, Pierre.
