I haven't used xref in a long time but IIRC it had trouble when you
defined functions using macro/macrolet.  There may have been other
issues.  Not a problem with maxima, probably.

The CMUCL xref is done by Eric Marsden and was announced just today on
the cmucl-imp mailing list I think.  He said binaries are available in
the experimental directory on www.cons.org.  (Somewhere. I always have
to poke around to find it.)
