Fw: [CM] problem with #! in CMUCL

[Rick Taube]

 Why not generalize CM and use something

that only compounds the problem. for example c and s are both used by CLTL for complex numbers and structures.

plus it a feature that the #! works for anything you define with a name -- seqs, plots, files, patterns etc.

I guess i could do

#n

where "n" means "name" but #n is not "protected" by CLTL. but maybe that doesnt matter.
