Greetings! I see we've been on parallel paths. I've committed a lisp-array-alike1 to gcl_cleanup for review. With this and a gcl/unicode version of gobble-whitespace also committed to this branch, there are no unexpected test failures with maxima/GCL 2.6.14. I'll update the testsuite file for the GCL expectations, and review the remaining expected failures. To my understanding, I also 'own' the #-=kcl conditional. I'll review and clean these as well if there are no objections. I say your very helpful bug report at savannah -- thanks! They indeed seem to have changed the web interface so that no one can close bugs. I'll correspond with them on this.
