3. [GET-INTERNAL-TIME, GET-REAL-TIME]
Certainly both both forms of time are needed. The whole set
of time functions needs improving. I'll send another message
later.
4. [white page macros expand into implementation-independent code]
I am in favor of this. I am also in favor of adding enough
functionality to Common Lisp to make this possible. I don't
think the language is currently portable enough.
9. [PROCLAIM]
I am strongly in favor of a PROCLAIM function. A PROCLAIM
special form is not useful.
11. [FILL-POINTER]
I am strongly in favor of this.
12. [:NAMED]
How about :NAMED-TYPE or :TYPE-NAME?
13. [*IBASE*]
Yes, but rename it *READ-BASE*.
15. [renaming i/o variables etc.]
Yes.
20. [APROPOS, PPRINT return value]
0 values sounds good to me.
21. [package for features]
I prefer allowing feature variables to be in any package, and
to be read normally.
