Re: Documentation says BYE is the LISP package, but it appears to be in the SYSTEM package

Greetings, and thanks for your report!  Yes this is a doc mistake which

only have the ansi symbols exported (and indeed no other symbols if
memory serves, thought I have not double checked this recently).

Take care,
