[Ecls-list] find-symbol("NIL")

Hi,

I've embedded ECL into somewhere (1), and all is quite smooth, hopefully.

I'm using this approach:

	current_package = ecl_current_package();
	sym = ecl_find_symbol((cl_object)&lisp_str, current_package, &intern);

The thing I don't understand - I can easily find symbol "T" but I can't find 
symbol "NIL" - why is this so?

Actually there is Cnil_symbol, and Ct, and I was expecting for the searchi 
of "NIL" symbol to return Cnil_symbol to me, is there a way to explain this?

(1) somewhere - is at CPAN at http://search.cpan.org/~vkon, i.e. embedding 
into Perl, which is not of great favour here, as I understand :) :) but 
anyway is quite convenient

Best regards,
Vadim.
