I think we found a case for *EVALHOOK*.

The Slime repl evaluator would have to be advised about which objects
came from presentations; in the evalhook, it'd test if the arg is same
to such an object -- if it is, it'd not evaluate that object.

The advising part would probably be a bit involving because we'd have to
guarantee EQness.

I'm almost tempted to hack in *EVALHOOK* into SBCL's interpreter... ;-)
