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.
