Of | course, the likely result would be an implementation that works well | under CMU CL and appallingly badly on other Common Lisps, which might | be a pity. I don't think that's a pity. As long as we can specify the behavior such that it can be used the same way in every implementation, I don't care how implementation-specific the implementation is. #:Erik -- "When you are having a bad day and it seems like everybody is trying to piss you off, remember that it takes 42 muscles to produce a frown, but only 4 muscles to work the trigger of a good sniper rifle." -- Unknown
