I find it fascinating that you are so concerned with minor things. | If you can't offer something better, then let me ask that you propose | something that is even uglier. well, you just did that. coming up with something uglier still would take away time from doing constructive work. your constant whining about how ugly Common Lisp is probably furthers _some_ goal of yours, but it is destructive and disruptive to others. #:Erik
