I came on a strange, to me, feature of coral common lisp 1.2.1:
the following expression (setq toto #(1 2 3)) makes lisp return an error
(cannot eval). However (setq toto '#(1 2 3)) works, and toto is actually the
right vector object.
Both formulation work in lucid.
So what's happening, is the coral implementation wrong? Is it reasonable to
consider the quoted version a common denominator?
