Subject: make gen-character more robust
X-Git-Url: http://repo.macrolet.net/gitweb/?p=fiveam.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=037999f6c29bbb66aabaa85c8c46c21e20a897c1

make gen-character more robust
code-char is allowed to return NIL for a given code.
gen-character now checks for this, so that it will always
return a character.
