So many levels to it.... Maybe it should have been "*QUERY-IO* is now
unbound." :)

Not in my development environment:
CL-USER 31 > *query-io*
6
I have that set in init.lisp since 6 is usually the answer anyway.

I don't understand this. Is this a Common Lisp you are describing?
If so, then I don't think it is a conforming one, since *query-io*
must be a stream, and a stream is a specific type, and I don't think
that that type can be merged with integer. Perhaps I'm wrong, and
there is a way to look at an integer as a stream, but then my gut tells
me that there would be problems dealing with some of the discriminations
that go along with stream operations.
Now, in Allegro CL and in at least a few other CLs, where Gray streams
and possibly Simple-streams are implemented, there are indeed operations
that will work on either a stream or a small integer, where that integer
is taken to be a "file-descriptor" or "file-number" as defined (and
opened) by the low-level operating system, usually corresponding to
those file numbers that are defined by C. But even C has two kinds
of open file designators (i.e. integers and (FILE *) structs) and the
operations on each are kept separate. And not all stream operations
should work on integers in CL, either.
Am I making too much of this? Did I miss a joke somewhere in the
thread, after reading it piecemeal?

Perhaps he has an exceedingly bizzare method on PRINT-OBJECT.

Yup.

OK. After a few emails and posts to this effect, I have to admit
that it is obvious what was going on. Chalk this up to rustiness
from too much holiday food and fatness...

I think so. See the original query, and other posts by the same
author.
