TYPE-SPECIFIER-P

[Bob Krajewski <lmi-angel!rpk@EDDIE.MIT.EDU>]

I'm not sure if there really needs to a new type specifier (TYPE-SPECIFIER),
to go along with this.  The Common Lisp type system should be used for the
discrimination of Lisp objects, whereas type specifiers are a kind of
``application'' of Lisp objects for a special purpose (the representation of
types).  TYPE-SPECIFIER doesn't have the same kind of intrinsic quality that
STRING or VECTOR does.
