Xach on #lisp tells me that the above was insulting.  It was not my 
intention to be insulting in any way and Xof told me about the MOD 
declaration specifier and I read about it in the CLHS.

I apologize for any offense I may have caused by reporting a totally 
benign change in the way a type is represented as a possible bug.

I further apologize for the noise I made on this list.
