 By default SBCL implements @code{eval} by calling the native code
-compiler. SBCL also includes an interpreter for use in special cases
-where using the compiler is undesirable, for example due to compilation
-overhead. Unlike in some other Lisp implementations, in SBCL interpreted
-code is not safer or more debuggable than compiled code.
-
-Switching between the compiler and the interpreter is done using the
-special variable @code{sb-ext:*evaluator-mode*}. As of 0.9.17, valid
-values for @code{sb-ext:*evaluator-mode*} are @code{:compile} and
-@code{:interpret}.
