One of the difficult issues in any standrads effort is what to
change and what to keep the same (or at least compatible).
What's one person's bug is another's feature.  I think most
people want the standard to be very nearly what people think of
today when they say "Common Lisp," but the formal agreement on
that mutual understanding can be very difficult and may result in
some unexpected changes.  -- Bob Mathis
