   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)). 

I disagree.  If one regards INSPECT as a tool in the interactive
interface, it can be a real nuisance to inspect some huge data structure
and then when you finish it insists on printing 300 lines of gobbledygook
at you.
