If anyone is actually interested in this change and its impact,
there is a (typo-ridden) discussion of some of that<br>
in <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://trac.clozure.com/ccl/ticket/1292">http://trac.clozure.com/ccl/ticket/1292</a>.<br>
<br>
Much of that discussion took place two months ago.<br>
<br>
I find the issues clear - implementations should be free to change
implementation details, and people who use<br>
libraries that depend on implementation details are taking a risk in
doing so.<br>
<br>
<tt>The maintainer of the NAMED-READTABLES library took
responsibility for that risk. I shouldn't be, but I am surprised
to see that<br>
what seems like a simple and clear issue is apparently causing
confusion as long as it has.<br>

We tested it with cl-test-grid on linux and macosx.
As we can see in the reports below, on both OSes there are regressions. Most of them
are caused by the same two (interwinded) errors:
1. Some problem with named-readtables
2. When the readtables error occurs, handling the condition causes some "Undefined function CCL::RDTAB.ALIST called with ..."
