Given
(defun bah (&key humbug)
...)
which of the following are legal?
1 (bah :allow-other-keys nil :other 'blah)
2 (bah :allow-other-keys t :other 'blah)
3 (bah :allow-other-keys nil)
Certainly 1 is in error and 2 is legal. What about 3? The way I read
the manual this is an error, which I don't think is the intent of this
feature. Opinions?
I agree with your analysis: a strict reading of the current wording of
the manual would suggest that case 3 is an error, but it would make more
sense if this were not treated as an error.
