What are pseudo-namestrings?
this is your term from earlier mail:
Oh, OK.
in a separate message, you indicated that a complete absolute pathname namestring should also appear in some test.
Yes, although that would probably only work on Unix, so should be made #+unix or some such.
What are homogeneous failures?
configurations which are either all logical pathnames or include no logical pathname.[1] at one point, i thought that might (inversely) correlate with failure, but that appears to not be the case.
At least I'm glad that SBCL, CCL and LispWorks pass all tests. There is *some* sanity in the world.
I have the hardest time debugging the least failure with CLISP.
i have yet to try to understand the causes for anything but the most basic errors. i would like to hear first, whether the test configurations are correct and/or complete.
Correct, they look like they are. Complete, I'll have to think way more, but I suppose you could add an untype static file just for kicks.
