Errata for hyperspec?

[Steve Haflich]

The Hyperspec is a copyrighted document owned by Lispworks.  They can
change it, and *perhaps *others could create a revised version under the
generous terms of use.

But the Hyperspec is mostly a version of the official ANSI specification
for CL, and revising *that *is something much more difficult.  (I won't
here go into the story how X3J13 manipulated the final draft of the ANS
into a freely-available document prior to ANSI slapping their restrictive
copyright on it, but that's what the Hyperspec and other similar
freely-available versions of the CL specification are derived from.)

The erroneous example you found is real and it would certainly be nice to
fix it, but note *1.4.3 Sections Not Formally Part Of This Standard.  *Sections
labeled *Examples *or *Notes *are not normative -- i.e., they are
illustrative only and not a binding part of the language definition.
