In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv2406

Modified Files:
      Tag: character_branch
	TODO.character version.lisp-expr 
Log Message:
0.8.13.77.character.25:
	"It's all part of the learning experience"

	Preparation for widening CHARACTER.
	... rewrite SYMBOLICATE to avoid needing the type system early;
		instead essentially provide a specialized 
		implementation.
	... slightly frob the CONCATENATE and REPLACE transforms 
		(removing the REPLACE one completely for character 
		strings, until the widening occurs).
