   * fixed bug 219: DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO no longer has compile-time

-  * fixed some more bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+  * fixed bug 222: DEFMETHOD and SYMBOL-MACROLET interactions now

+  * fixed bug in COERCE, which now signals an error on coercing a

+  * The compiler is now able to derive types more accurately from the
