    (2) We disagree violently with releasing functions named +INTERNAL...,
	|constantp/|| etc. These functions want reasonable names.
So just go ahead and remove them from the documentation.  Who cares,
since nobody will use them anyhow.
    In defense of documentation, though, I would say that the several
system packages are interrelated; e.g., several places call |constantp/||, 
which would have the same functionality regardless of what you rename it to.
Furthermore, because of the interrelations, you can't fix the name argument
just by renaming them in the source.
    You (RWK) invented some of them, and must have had good reason for 
such functionality in the higher-level functions (like SETF).  So why not 
flush the documentation and let every loser re-invent the functionality?
