``This kind of warning strategy isn't very effective for things that cannot
be detected at compile time. A run time warning tends to be a big annoyance
and may not tell you just where in your program was responsible for the
effect.''
This might be right, but I'd rather there be an annoyance during a
period when old code is fixed than have years of bad news simply because
of a sentimental attachment to MacLisp. Here's my proposal: Let the vendors
make the change and let the users fix their code.
