[iterate-devel] Re: handler-bind macroexpansion and special operators (fwd)

Hi, Sam Steingold wrote:

The only place where it occurs is HANDLER-BIND which is a standard macro though, so I suggest that ITERATE handles HANDLER-BIND specially, not via MACROEXPAND. That's indeed needed for Iterate, ouch! But that's only one issue.

Every program or library which does code-walking and comes across IGNORE-ERRORS or HANDLER-BIND in CLISP will barf on this. Having a useful response from SPECIAL-OPERATOR-P would at least help these to correctly recognize the situation at hand. Which is the second issue: I believe a bug in CLISP's special-operator-p.
