New chapters are on
- The Common Lisp Object System.
- The Common Lisp (a.k.a. Pitman) Condition System.
- The expanded LOOP iteration facility.
- A programmable pretty-printing facility.
Appendices describe
- Richard Waters' proposed facilities for series, generators, and
gatherers.
- Advanced backquote usage.
ANSI X3J13 additions and clarifications are sprinkled throughout
the book as appropriate. All changes from the first edition are
diff-marked.
