0.8.10.51 me harder! Nikodemus pointed out that sbcl.1 also
mentions compiler-onliness. Avoid confusion the easy
way by just deleting that paragraph, on the theory that
people reading about SBCL at the once-over-lightly
level of the man page probably don't need to hear about
details which are unlikely to affect their lives.
.SH THE COMPILER
-SBCL is essentially a compiler-only implementation of Common Lisp. All
-nontrivial Lisp code is compiled to native machine code before being
-executed, even when the Lisp code is typed interactively at the
-"interpreter" prompt.
-
SBCL inherits from CMU CL the "Python" native code compiler. (Though
we often avoid that name in order to avoid confusion with the
scripting language also called Python.) This compiler is very clever
;;; checkins which aren't released. (And occasionally for internal
;;; versions, especially for internal versions off the main CVS
;;; branch, it gets hairier, e.g. "0.pre7.14.flaky4.13".)
