Caveat: I haven't been following this thread lately (guess I gave up), so I
might be misunderstanding what is said here.
If I understand correctly, then yes, that is what this bug report is about (I
filed it). And yes, the Common Lisp doc is *much* clearer in this regard. For
one thing, it actually _defines_ the syntax constructs it uses.
But I don't think the point of this bug report will ever be successfully
communicated to those who are in a position to fix this.
