[Gsll-devel] status.text & clisp

Hi Sam,

Just focusing in on one class of errors, vector-set-all on
complex vectors:

If I make a small modification to GSLL (attached) so that function
names like #:|gsl_vector_complex_float_set_all| are instead interned,
e.g.  '|gsl_vector_complex_float_set_all|,
then I get all tests to pass in my (old) version of CLISP:
 (lisp-unit:run-tests vector-set-all)
VECTOR-SET-ALL: 12 assertions passed, 0 failed.

Now it seems to me that what FSBV is doing with symbols (set/get
properties) should work equally well on uninterned or interned
symbols, so the original should work fine.  Is that correct?
Why does CLISP lose the property list binding when the symbol
is uninterned?
