Andreas,

I think I'll integrate your patches (& make a new release, perhaps 1.1pre1?) tomorrow, btw. Thanks for doing it so fast. It helps me since I have been delaying making changes to all files since I sent you the patches. I only added small notes to a separate file. As soon as you'll have it out, I can add further patches.

I'd call it an interim release, because IMHO the next release must restore the iterate-1.2 behaviour of looking at the specials it knows to handle first, then macroexpand. As I reported, the present order causes uncontrolled behaviour (for example in CLISP). And I suggest you name it 1.3preX ^ -- am I right that J. Amsterdam's last version was 1.2? BTW, I tested it with Corman 2.01 (2.5 is current). As a result, I made a note to avoid using ~< (pretty printer) in the error messages. Old errors don't make use of them either, so it can be seen as a matter of code consistency. Regards, Jorg Hohle
