SICL-related libraries

Libraries developed or extended as part of the SICL project, or that
are just an essential component of SICL.

Libraries are available in one of two places:

* https://github.com/s-expressionists
* https://github.com/robert-strandh

We try to migrate to s-expressionists.

Definitions:

Extrinsic: The library can be loaded into an existing Common Lisp
           implementation and the code can be tested that way.

Intrinsic: The library can be loaded as part of a new Common Lisp
           implementation, or to replace the equivalent existing code
           in an existing Common Lisp implementation.
