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).

- (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.

- I am looking into this problem that showed up on the cmucl-help

- The system accepts DECLAIM in most places where DECLARE would be
- accepted, without even issuing a warning. ANSI allows this, but since
- it's fairly easy to mistype DECLAIM instead of DECLARE, and the
- meaning is rather different, and it's unlikely that the user
- has a good reason for doing DECLAIM not at top level, it would be
- good to issue a STYLE-WARNING when this happens. A possible
- fix would be to issue STYLE-WARNINGs for DECLAIMs not at top level,
- or perhaps to issue STYLE-WARNINGs for any EVAL-WHEN not at top level.
- [This is considered an IR1-interpreter-related bug because until
- EVAL-WHEN is rewritten, which won't happen until after the IR1

- and what's not will remain too confused to fix this problem.]

-187: "type inference confusion around DEFTRANSFORM time"
- (reported even more verbosely on sbcl-devel 2002-06-28 as "strange
- bug in DEFTRANSFORM")
- After the file below is compiled and loaded in sbcl-0.7.5, executing
- (TCX (MAKE-ARRAY 4 :FILL-POINTER 2) 0)
- at the REPL returns an adjustable vector, which is wrong. Presumably
- somehow the DERIVE-TYPE information for the output values of %WAD is
- being mispropagated as a type constraint on the input values of %WAD,
- and so causing the type test to be optimized away. It's unclear how
- hand-expanding the DEFTRANSFORM would change this, but it suggests
- the DEFTRANSFORM machinery (or at least the way DEFTRANSFORMs are
- invoked at a particular phase) is involved.
