This file contains notes on problems in the ANSI CL spec found during the construction of the tests. 1. When building a composite stream, what happens when the component streams have different element types? 2. Should there be an UPGRADED-STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE function. 3. The spec requires that arrays specialized to type NIL exist. Was this intended? 4. If NIL specialized arrays exist, then NIL vectors are also strings. Was this intended? 5. The spec requires that (UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE NIL) be (type equivalent to) NIL. 6. The definition of UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE appears to require that it work on arbitrary typespecs, including SATISFIES, which is not possible. 7. Was it intended that values of 'smaller' float types be coercible to values of larger float types? In CLISP, short-float has a larger range of exponents than single-float, so some shorts cannot be coerced to singles without over/underflow. 8. IMAGPART is defined as returning (* 0 number) on reals. If the implementation supports negative zero and number is a negative float, this will be -0.0 (of the appropriate type). Was this intended?
