   * fixed bug 142: The FFI conversion of C string values to Lisp
     string values no longer conses excessively. (thanks to Nathan
     Froyd porting Raymond Toy's fix to CMU CL)

+    ** FINALIZE-INHERITANCE is now called on class finalization;
+    ** DOCUMENTATION and (SETF DOCUMENTATION) now have the correct

   * fixed bug 202: The compiler no longer fails on functions whose
     derived types contradict their declared type.
   * DEFMACRO is implemented via EVAL-WHEN instead of IR1 translation,
     so it can be non-toplevel.
   * The fasl file version number has changed (because of the new
     implementation of DEFMACRO).
+  * (mostly) fixed bugs 46b and 46c: sequence functions now check, in
