Re: Issue: DESTRUCTURING-BIND (Version 2)



Version 2 is the most recent I have. There's been some debate about &WHOLE,
&ENVIRONMENT, NIL and IGNORE in the destructuring list.


&ENVIRONMENT:
	everybody says disallow

&WHOLE:
	Moon said allow (the second time.)

NIL:
	Moon says allow as a way of ignoring.
	KMP says OK.

&BODY:
	KMP makes case for disallowing, but says
	allow.

There was some additional discussion that resulted in the related issue of
DEFMACRO-LAMBDA-LIST. 

I'd be happy with a proposal that said NIL is ignored, &WHOLE and &BODY are
allowed, and that &ENVIRONMENT is disallowed.

KMP made a reference to "the next version" in his message of 30 Jan 89, so
maybe he'll produce one.
