This idea is from CWH/ALAN (and many others I am sure). I agree, comments?
----------
(1) LENGTH should count the number of conses in a given structure, i.e.
(LENGTH '(A B . C)) --> 2. Here is how I think it should behave:
(defun length (list)
(cond ((atom list) 0)
(t (1+ (length (cdr list))))))
(2) LAST should return the last cons in a given structure, i.e.
(LAST '(A B . C)) --> (B . C). Here is a definition:
(defun last (list)
(cond ((atom (cdr list)) list)
(t (last (cdr list)))))
---------
End of idea.
