As the maintainer of one of the modes for PicoLisp:

   https://github.com/flexibeast/picolisp-mode

i would really prefer that SLIME didn't assume that it's the only 
derivative of lisp-mode. This assumption already has to be worked 
around:

   https://github.com/flexibeast/picolisp-mode#note-slime

There would be further problems if SLIME were to decide to impose 
its keybindings on all lisp-mode derivatives.

i think it's perfectly reasonable for a user to want to make use 
of SLIME alongside other lisp-mode derivatives - a user might want 
to use SLIME when programming in CL, but a PicoLisp mode when 
programming in PicoLisp.

Please don't enable all of SLIME's keys in lisp-mode-hook.
