While writing some common lisp code today, I was reminded that ASET
was removed because "You should be using SETF". Unfortunately,
what I wanted to do was (apply #'aset value array list-of-subscripts),
a very reasonable thing in a recursive array-processing program,
and I find there is no way to do this in Common Lisp. Opinions?
