Hello out there...
Forgive me if this is a FAQ, but is there a "satisfies" function in Common
Lisp? Someone mentioned it, but I was unable to find any reference in Common
LISPCraft. Please email responses to ···@cs.colostate.edu. You can simply
refer me to a good book if the explanation is too complex
Thank you, thank you, thank you, and bless you,

SATISFIES is part of the type-specifying mechanism. it's not a general
predicate for use as a function. You need to look at section 4.3 in
Steele (which is the Lisp bible--if you don't have one, get one. I
have extra copies of the first edition, if anyone's interested).
