Yep:

$ lisp
CMU Common Lisp 18c, running on atrus.jesus.cam.ac.uk
Send questions to cmucl-help at cons.org. and bug reports to cmucl-imp at cons.org.
Loaded subsystems:
    Python 1.0, target Intel x86
    CLOS based on PCL version:  September 16 92 PCL (f)
    CLX X Library MIT R5.02
    Hemlock 3.5

This confused me the first time I fired up cmucl :-)  They probably had
the name first, too.

Cheers,
M.
