. . .
I don't have to worry about it. I LAPed up a LDB and a DPB of my own
a long time ago and I still don't have any reason to flush them.
What I am amazed by is the totally hairy "stop gap" measures that
don't gain anything!
So your questions re *LDB are just wasting time and space in the BUG-LISP
channel? And you still don't understand how trivial *LDB is now?
Serious points:
1) Does the existence of your LDB subr mean that you don't get the
efficiency of the BOOLE which the macro generates for constant <ppss> ?
2) Will your LDB be schrod when the compiler open-codes LDB?
