Does anybody have a set of patches for Steele's CLtL?
Here are my additions:
in the index:
defun is defined on page 67. (This is pretty hard on beginners.)
macrolet on page 113
&environment on page 145 (not really)
elsewhere:
I think page 145 should describe &environment.

All of these index items, and many others, are taken care of in
"Common Lisp, The Index," by Rosemary Simpson. It's a pamphlet-
sized book, put out by Coral Software and Franz. The book is a full
cross-referenced index to CLtL.
Coral includes it (along with CLtL) with Coral Common Lisp; they were
giving it away at their booth at AAAI last summer. (The index, not the
software!)
The book shows a price of $4.95, so I suppose Coral will sell it
separately; their number is (800) 521-1027, or P.O. Box 307, Cambridge
MA 02142.

&ENVIRONMENT is described on p. 145. The last (indented) paragraph
refers to it - unfortunately the keyword &ENVIRONMENT was omitted, so
that it seems at first glance to be simply more on &WHOLE.
