Re: New special form suggestion: LET-CONSTANT

[<samalone@ATHENA.MIT.EDU>]

	It seems like a LET-CONSTANT special form, or an &CONSTANT
	lambda-list keyword, would be the right thing for this. 
	LET-CONSTANT would be to DEFPARAMETER what FLET is to DEFUN,
	and &CONSTANT would be analogous to &AUX.

As an alternative, I recommend a CONSTANT declaration.  DEFCONSTANT could then
be defined in terms of (PROCLAIM '(CONSTANT variable)).  The statement
(PROCLAIM '(DECLARATION CONSTANT)) would provide compatibility with
implementations that don't support the declaration.
