RECORD doesn't exist in any version of Lisp I'm familiar with.

IGNORE is a declaration you can use to keep a Lisp implementation from
warning you about a parameter that isn't used anywhere in the function.
This usually occurs when a function is part of a family of functions that
all take the same parameters, but some of them don't need to use all of
them.

FLET is a special form used for defining local functions.

RECORDs are exiting in Macintosh Common Lisp.
They are low level C/Pascal-like datastructures
defined by DEFRECORD.

              ^^^^^^^
heh.  "existing"? ... don't mean to nitpick about spelling but this was
very confusing for me to read until I figured out it was probably a typo. :-)

Sorry about that. "existing" is right. There you see, I'm
not a native speaker.

Hmm. If you need them, they might be exciting, too :-)
