Just to clarify...

["Scott E. Fahlman" <Fahlman@C.CS.CMU.EDU>]

The fact that I forwarded Scott Safier's suggestion didn't imply that I
was endorsing it.  In fact, I tend to agree with Skef on this: these
functions already have too many arguments, and if you need temporary
package rebinding, that is easily accomplished with a user-defined
macro.

For the record, it is legitimate to rasie new issues directly on the
Common Lisp bboard.  I long ago gave up the attempt to focus this forum
on a small number of issues.  But please bear in mind that mail sent to
Common Lisp goes to a *LOT* of people, so think about your message
before you send it.
