Adding onto the other note, SLIME doesn't actually run the lisp in emacs. It runs your Common Lisp interpreter as a separate process to emacs, it's an inferior mode. When you evaluate something, emacs sends that expression over to the clisp shell and hits enter for you. The results are interpreted by emacs. There's no magic here - Emacs hasn't suddenly become clisp, it just has a spiffy interface. shell-mode and various sql-modes work like this too.
