#712 Wrong string types cause type errors in SBCL

[Nikodemus Siivola]

Current (2005-04-30) CVS HEAD does not build on newish SBCL's
as Maxima seems to assume that strings containing only base-
characters are base-strings, whereas in unicode enabled SBCL this
is not necessarily true:

* (type-of "FOO")

(SIMPLE-ARRAY CHARACTER (3))

* (type-of (coerce "FOO" 'base-string))

(SIMPLE-BASE-STRING 3)

* (typep "FOO" 'base-string)

NIL

Is this already fixed?

I don't think so.

Rather than regenerate all of the files with f2cl again, I
think the best thing would be to change all occurrences of
base-char with character. I think that should satisfy sbcl.

I have changed all occurrences of base-char to character.
Please test with sbcl.

Nikodemus says they're fixed now. No warnings about characters.
