Your alternative syntax #1 is clearly superior to all the others. Could
you take the time to alter the proposal accordingly, and at the same time
fix the typo "available" into "accessible"? [and also proof read the
whole proposal again?]
Alternative #2 is unacceptable, because it presumes that filtering a
DO-ALL-SYMBOLS is a reasonable implementation of DO-EXTERNAL-SYMBOLS.
In fact, in Lucid Common Lisp, the situation is much more complex; the
"filtering" step could, in extreme circumstances, become pragmatically
unworkable, whereas the native implementation has no trouble.
