Implementation of MAP, SOME, EVERY, etc...

[Dan Corkill <cork%umass-cs.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa>]

There is an easily made implementation error in MAP, SOME, EVERY, etc.
The published semantics indicate that these functions use the length of
the shortest argument sequence to determine how many iterations to 
perform (and in this way parallel the semantics of mapc, mapcar, etc.).

Thus it would appear that:

	(map 'list '+ '(1 2 3) (star 2))

where star builds a circular list of its argument should be legal and
return => (3 4 5).

Implementations that use length to check the length of argument sequences
will break on such a call.
