re: "The extent of environment objects has been discussed before. I don't
remember whether that became a full-fledged cleanup issue, but I think
it is orthogonal to this issue. Larry, has such an issue been
presented? If not, David, you are welcome to present one."
Until I get my Common Lisp Mail Super-Duper Retrieval System up and running
again, I can't answer this question. I don't remember one...
I don't think that requiring interpreters to remember type declarations
will go over big.
I actually don't think adding a lot of functions & variables will go over
big unless there's a stronger justification for them than the ones
presented here.... I know and you know why this stuff is useful, but do
*they* know?
