    ... (COPYLIST <list> 2) would be the same as the lisp machine
    function COPYALIST.  I thought that was a reasonable
    generalization...

Well, This isn't actually a generalization of anything.  If you stop
and think about it you will realize that your interpretation of
"level" has been colored by your interpretation of what the list
structure represents. You think of this as a "list" of "conses", and
thus a 2 level structure, but it might also be thought of as a "list"
of "lists" and different things would be copied.
