File psl-1983/doc/common-lisp-functions.txt artifact 79a66838fa part of check-in 955d0a90a7


Description of columns:
	E - Existing PSL function
		* means the function needs no change, X means it requires
		an extension
	C - Name conflicts with existing PSL function
	O - Uses &optional and/or &rest arguments
	N - Same as a PSL function with this name
	S - Simple to implement
		* means it should be easy to implement (given
		optional arguments and the feature mentioned in column F),
		U means it's in the USEFUL package,
		C means it's in the COMMON package, though perhaps as a macro
		when it should be a function
	D - Difficult to implement
		A hard feature or large effort is required to add it, such
		as multiple values
	F - Feature needed
		A feature which does not currently exist in PSL is needed

Comments appear on the line FOLLOWING the function name.
