By the way. Seems that almost everyone (except LH/| (whoever he is, never saw
anyone with a vertical bar in his name before)) wants to cons an array, and
get an array pointer to it. maybe there should be a function that given a number
of words, allocates a fixnum array, but in random space, so that the GC doesn't
move it around. This is also the right thing for the vision hackers and the
people who hack AI tv's. It is approximately what GLS does in the TVLISP package
also. This seems to be a reasonable feature. (Maybe an extension to LH| so that
its args are:
(LH/| <type of space> <type of array to cons> dim1 dim2 ..... dimn)
