Hi all,

i expected (if T form1 form2)
to evaluate and return form1, no matter
what form2 is. However, a colleague 
came up with the following:

USER(7): (if t t no-such:package)
=>
Error: Package "NO-SUCH" not found.
  [condition type: READER-ERROR]
[1] USER(8): 

on a freshly started ACL 4.3.1
Why is this?

hello!

actually, ACL told you the answer to this question: This is a
_reader_ error, not a run-time error!
