suspected bug in KCL



When calling get-macro-character with nil as the second
argument, then we get

116 % kcl
AKCL (Austin Kyoto Common Lisp)  Version(1.609) Wed Apr  1 17:38:53 JST 1992
Contains Enhancements by W. Schelter

>(get-macro-character #\) nil)

Error: NIL is not of type READTABLE.
Fast links are on: do (use-fast-links nil) for debugging
Error signalled by GET-MACRO-CHARACTER.
Broken at GET-MACRO-CHARACTER.  Type :H for Help.
>>

However, CLtL2 states (p.542) that if nil is passed here,
then the standard readtable is used!
