test case from Patrik Nordebo)
+ * improved the ability of the disassembler on the PPC platform to
+ provide helpful disassembly notes.
+ * SB-MOP:CLASS-PROTOTYPE on built-in-classes returns an instance of
+ the class in more cases than previously.

+ STRING-INPUT-STREAMs. (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+ * bug fix: (SIGNED-BYTE 8) streams no longer return (UNSIGNED-BYTE

+changes in sbcl-0.8.3 relative to sbcl-0.8.2:

+ accept and act upon their :ELEMENT-TYPE keyword argument.
+ (reported by Edi Weitz)
+ * bug fix: FILE-POSITION now accepts position designators up to

+ is the greater. (thanks to Patrik Nordebo)
+ * bug fix: MAKE-ARRAY ignored :INITIAL-CONTENTS NIL. (reported by

down, it might impact TRACE. They both encapsulate functions, and
