    In System 51.17, ZMail 6.4, Macsyma 4.0, microcode 707, on Lisp Machine Fifteen:

    Are you people planning on changing MAKE-LIST to take args like
    (COUNT &OPTIONAL WHAT-TO-PUT-IN-THE-CARs)?

No, actually we're planning on changing MAKE-LIST and MAKE-ARRAY to
take keyword arguments, except for the first argument which would be
the length.  Only reason it hasn't been done already is that it requires
a coordinated system and microcode change.
