    I haven't looked too hard, so perhaps I am missing something, but: What
    function is used by WITH-OUTPUT-TO-STRING to create an output stream to an
    existing string?  MAKE-STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM does not take an argument.

Not a Common Lisp function.  It has been suggested by other people
that MAKE-STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM could take a optional arg which would
be a string with a fill-pointer.
