Spelling correction

[Christopher Fry <cfry@OZ.AI.MIT.EDU>]

Spelling correction would be less necessary in
Common Lisp if the names of certain functions were
easier to spell.
For example:
rplaca
cddadr
nsublis
svref
sqrt
hash-table [the type, includes dash]
readtable  [the type, no dash]
exp, expt
dpb

Fixing the source of common spelling errors would be
more profitable than adding heuristic patches like
spelling correctors.
Since the above examples are set in concrete,
a yellow pages spelling corrector may make it possible
for a part-time hacker [whose voice isn't heard on this mailing list]
to survive in the unnecessarily complex CL environment.
