[Ecls-list] Feedback needed: interpretation question

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

Assume you find this code

(defun foo (x)
  (declare (fixnum x))
 ...
  (setf x (+ x 2))
 ...)

Do you interpret the declaration to affect only the INPUT value or the
variable X as a whole? I would say the first case, but so far ECL has been
using the second interpretation.
