Subject: CMUCL Vs Allegro (was Re: cmucl Bug)

I meant to mention this a while back when I came across it. Allegro
(at least the Windows version) and CMUCL differ in the syntax of the
format command. The code I was writing pads out numbers to be 3
characters - "001", "020", and so on. Allegro wanted:
(format nil "~3'0D" NUMBER)
That makes CMUCL fall over here though - it wants:
(format nil "~3,'0D" NUMBER)
It looks to me, when I read the relevant section, like Steele is
interpretable in two ways. Or is this a known bug in one or other
implementation?
