I might quibble with a few of these:
INSPECT: it is marginally more useful to say that INSPECT returns the item
inspected. Some interactive inspectors might allow you to return a new value as
the value of INSPECT, e.g., (SETQ X (INSPECT X)).
PROVIDE and REQUIRE are not likely to appear except in the "top level" of files.
