Thanks for the patch.  I would personally prefer to have only one
function for this task at the risk of not being backwards compatible,
i.e. I'd simply remove :PERMANENTLY.  Maybe we can have a quick poll:

If anybody with lots of production Hunchentoot applications is
absolutely relying on the :PERMANENTLY keyword, please speak up
now... :)

Cheers,
Edi.
