COMPLR loses on sstatus splicing macro

[DAVE.TOURETZKY at CMU-10A]

I have a little function that changes and restores the readmacro
property associated with ";".  It restores it by doing
  (sstatus macro 59 oldsemi splicing)
which is a perfectly legal call.  COMPLR complains that SPLICING was not
declared special.

Obviously COMPLR is confused about the weird way in which sstatus macro
takes its arguments.  Personally, I find the some-are-evaled-and-some-aren't
format of (sstatus macro) rather retarded, and would rather see that changed
than poor little COMPLR.    -- Dave
