Tags: patch

The attached proposed patch is a followup to the recent discussion on 
emacs-devel. We're in feature-freeze now, so it's not a good time to 
apply it. Although I'm sympathetic to Stefan's point that the Common 
Lisp behavior is less logical, it is more useful in practice (as can be 
seen from some uses in the proposed patch) and there is a benefit to 
being compatible with CL.
