In System 78.34, ZMail 38.5, microcode 843, 60Hz, on Lisp Machine Four:
There should be some way of having a wildcard-like input file-type list for a
transformation, that is, a transformation which accepts ANY file-type for its
input file(s). This is needed to define transformations like
(SI:DEFINE-SIMPLE-TRANSFORMATION :IGNORE
#'(LAMBDA (&REST IGNORE) NIL)
#'(LAMBDA (&REST IGNORE) NIL)
(':wild-type) ;this is needed here
NIL)
which don't perform any actions but DO associate their input files with the
system.
