I have to agree that the manual needs clarification on the point
of the behavior of DEFSTRUCT-defined predicates. I would intrepret
the penultimate paragraph on page 306 as indicating by example that
any object whatsoever may be given to SHIP-P (and by extension to any
DEFSTRUCT-defined predicate). It would follow that the VaxLISP
implementation is at fault.
