Summary: PROBE-FILE

Initial Comment:
I noticed a compliance issue with GNU CLISP 2.49 for Windows.
(probe-file pathname) signalls an error instead of NIL when the pathname does not refer to an actual file.
An error can only be signalled if (wild-pathname-p pathname) is true which was not the case.


[14]> (wild-pathname-p "c:/Program Files/")

NIL
[15]> (file-exists-p "c:/Program Files/")

*** - PROBE-FILE: No file name given: #P"C:\\Program Files\\"
The following restarts are available:
ABORT          :R1      Abort main loop
Break 1 [16]>
