Try (listp nil). It returns T, nil is a list.
Try (length nil). It returns 0, nil is a list of length 0.
Try (values). it doesn't return anything! And I'll bet you
thought that everything in lisp returns a value. Hah!
Actually, several things in Lisp don't return a value. For instance,
THROW, RETURN-FROM, and GO.
