    It seems that anyone who does

    (FIND number list-of-number :test #'<) 

    is depending on the order of the arguments to the test.  I don't
    know for sure if anyone depends on this, but it doesn't seem like
    a particularly contorted example.  There are a fair number of
    non-commutative predicates.

This example reminds me of what I think is the reason for the particular
order chosen.  I think the order of arguments to the test function is
always supposed to be the same as the order of arguments to the sequence
function, for ease of remembering.
