Sure, I'll look at updating the comments too.  Based on my current  
understanding, though, I'm seeing more code updates that might be  
desirable, like not checking SCM_CLASSP(SCM_CAR(z)) etc, if a non-pair  
is the one and only indication of hitting the end of the specifiers.   
Even if we don't change the code (since it still works), new comments  
reflecting my understanding would make the code seem non-sensical.  I  
just tried a quick check changing those tests to assert calls, and  
everything seems fine.  So, I'll revise my patch...

I may be overlooking something in my old email -- what were the non- 
comment updates you suggested?
