What is the status of UNSPECIAL in Common LISP?  In the archives on MC I
can find references to its demise (in the Laser edition), but no
arguments as to the reasons.  While it might speed up the interpreter to
not have unspecial declarations (just a guess), it would be nice to have
ASSURED special declarations....
