GET never advertised to "work on hunks"

	GET has never been advertised to do anything except return () when
	applied to something other than a LIST or a SYMBOL....
    This is *not* true. GET has been advertised to work on symbols and
    disembodied property lists, which are lists of a certain form.

Here is the note from LISP NEWS which originally documents hunks.
Do you see any "advertisement" mentioning GET here?
  TUESDAY  JUNE 15,1976   FM+3D.2H.27M.33S.   LISP 1160  - GLS -
	  [5E] MOST OTHER FUNCTIONS WHICH OPERATE ON LIST STRUCTURE
	       WILL TREAT HUNKS AS LIST CELLS, USING ONLY THE FIRST
But note how these three functions had to be specifically mentioned later:
  MONDAY  MAY 16,1977  LQ+6D.8H.0M.26S.   LISP 1272   - GLS -
  [1] THE VALUE OF HUNKP CONTROLS PRINT, PURCOPY, AND EQUAL

    Since HUNKs are advertised and have been for a long time to behave
    like lists, you are changing a documented behavior. 

Oh really?, didn't you notice the changeover in default behaviour
mentioned in this note:
  Thursday  June 07,1979    FQ+5D.11H.58M.56S.		- Jonl - 
  1) Value of "MAKHUNK" permits use of a new HUNK2 space.

    I think this is very sad, for while I will agree that it is bad that
    for HUNKs to have behaved originally as non-atoms, there is a wealth
    of code that depends on this now and I don't want to see it broken.

Only RWK mentioned the bare **possibility** that the old, list-like
behaviour would be needed for some MRG code.  NO ONE ELSE even mentioned
any code that depends on this.
