While we already have come to the conclusion that the spec usually
mentions implementation-defined arguments explicitly, I came across
Lispworks' MAKE-HASH-TABLE[1] today.

They seem to be quite liberal about it (as I am -- an additional keyword
arg shouldn't hurt anyone). I wonder what the policies of other
implementors are...
