[alexandria-devel] [PATCH] improvement wrt. signalling errors on improper sequences
The attached patch improves error signalling when passing improper lists to some of the sequence function where the docstring said that they'd signal an error. Additionally, introduce the macro DO-PROPER-LIST, and the function PROPER-LIST-LENGTH -- which are used to remove some code duplication. -T.

-T.
DO-PROPER-LIST (lists.lisp) uses PARSE-BODY (macros.lisp) which depends upon STARTS-WITH (sequences.lisp) --- however `sequences.lisp' depends upon `lists.lisp'. To break this cyclic depedence, I cut the use of STARTS-WITH in PARSE-BODY, making PARSE-BODY completely standalone. -T.
