 it appears to work on SBCL, CCL and LW (just changed a few things and do not 
 have an Allegro running)

 It is nice, but I believe that the CLHS says otherwise.
What do you mean, CLHS says otherwise?
See

And why is this in pro@?

 Good catch.

 And yet...

 http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/03_dd.htm
And yet, what? Nothing stated there contradicts the previous section.


 And why is this in pro@?

 Because I am a pro (albeit a small one) and this is a matter of 
 inconsistencies in the spec?

It would appear to me that questions, which could be resolved by careful
reading of the spec, are out of scope of this mailing list, but what do I
know?

Please don't be mean.  On such a low traffic mailing list, with such a
small community, I don't see what the problem is, and hostility won't
help.  Saying that it's off-topic, explaining why and suggesting an
alternative list is fine, but there are tactful means to do it...
