You guys are kidding, right? BOOLE is a hideous function that was only
kept around so that rasterop harware and suchlike could be used in a
direct way from within Lisp. What possible purpose could served by
extending it to N values? It is not a stated goal of Common Lisp to
provide an interpretation for all possible extensions to all possible
functions.
