In reply to the semi-recent request for opinions about the what the
default should be for (STATUS FLUSH). I would prefer
(STATUS FLUSH) => T
as the default. I often forget and end up dumping out huge files.
People who dump out lisps should be sophisticated enough to understand
the dangers of a lisp going away and are not likely to get screwed by
lisp's going away. It's more likely someone will be careless and dump
out an extra 40K without noticing ... -kmp
