A bunch of those symbols are dead (I'll commit a patch to clean up
those later today).
A bunch of them aren't really something users are supposed to mess
with, unless they really know what they're doing. (Like %PRIMITIVE,
*INTERRUPTS-ENABLED*, etc.) thse should be IMO moved elsewhere.
A bunch of them should be documented properly in the manual -- but
most of them already have docstrings, so that is not a terrible
ordeal. Some of these should be moved to SB-EXT (and some maybe to
SB-ALIEN.)
(dolist (x (sort (loop for s being each external-symbols in :sb-sys
collect s) #'string<))
(when (or (boundp x) (fboundp x) (find-class x nil) (sb-int:info
:type :kind x))
(write-line
"--------------------------------------------------------------------------")
(describe x)))
will spit out bunch of information -- most of the things with proper
documentation belong to the last category.
