+  * minor incompatible change: the system is now aware of the types of

   * changes in type checking closed the following bugs:
     ** type checking of unused values (192b, 194d, 203);
     ** template selection based on unsafe type assertions (192c, 236);

   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** NIL is now allowed as a structure slot name.
     ** arbitrary numbers, not just reals, are allowed in certain
        circumstances in LOOP for-as-arithmetic clauses.
