Perhaps any number of such consecutive lines ought to turn into a
single "compiling top-level forms:" line.

- The way that the compiler munges types with arguments together
- with types with no arguments (in e.g. TYPE-EXPAND) leads to
- weirdness visible to the user:
- (DEFTYPE FOO () 'FIXNUM)
- (TYPEP 11 'FOO) => T
- (TYPEP 11 '(FOO)) => T, which seems weird
- (TYPEP 11 'FIXNUM) => T
- (TYPEP 11 '(FIXNUM)) signals an error, as it should
- The situation is complicated by the presence of Common Lisp types
- like UNSIGNED-BYTE (which can either be used in list form or alone)
- so I'm not 100% sure that the behavior above is actually illegal.
- But I'm 90+% sure, and the following related behavior,
- (TYPEP 11 'AND) => T
- treating the bare symbol AND as equivalent to '(AND), is specifically
- forbidden (by the ANSI specification of the AND type).

It would be nice if the

so they could be supported after all. Very likely
SIGCONTEXT-FLOATING-POINT-MODES could now be supported, too.

- (as discussed by Douglas Crosher on the cmucl-imp mailing list ca.
- Aug. 10, 2000): CMUCL currently interprets 'member as '(member); same
- issue with 'union, 'and, 'or etc. So even though according to the
- ANSI spec, bare 'MEMBER, 'AND, and 'OR are not legal types, CMUCL
- (and now SBCL) interpret them as legal types.

-246: "NTH-VALUE scaling problem"
- NTH-VALUE's current implementation for constant integers scales in
- compile-time as O(n^4), as indeed must the optional dispatch
- mechanism on which it is implemented. While it is unlikely to
- matter in real user code, it's still unpleasant to observe that

- to compile.
