[Openmcl-devel] Shortcircuiting of argument evaluation in #'<

[Eric Marsden]

Hi,

The function < is shortcircuiting the evaluation of its arguments, which
from my reading of CLHS (3.1.2.1.2.3 Function Forms) is not allowed (my
understanding is that it's allowed for special forms/macros, but not for
functions).
