The documentation for *features*, available on the web at http://www.xanalys.com/software_tools/reference/HyperSpec/Body/var_stfeaturesst.html says :cltl2 If present, indicates that the implementation purports to conform to Common Lisp: The Language, Second Edition. This feature must not be present in any conforming implementation, since conformance to that document is not compatible with conformance to this specification. On a related note, I notice that SBCL doesn't have a package called LISP either, but that it would still be valid if it did have - see http://www.xanalys.com/software_tools/reference/HyperSpec/Body/sec_a-1-7.html What's the rationale for having taken that one out? -dan |
