[adjustable arrays?] More FORMAT

Re: In some implementations all arrays are adjustable even if you didn't 
    explicitly ask for an adjustable array in make-array.
Isn't this a bug?  It certainly provides a loophole for non-portable code
that isn't reasonably detectable as non-portable.  For CLtL says
  (1) on p289 that certain arguments to make-array "guarantee" that the 
      result will be a simple array;
  (2) and on p28 that a simple array "is not to have its size adjusted
      dynamically after creation".
You can imagine how someone using a system that doesn't detect this error
will fare when trying to run on another system that really can't adjust
simple arrays.
