Re: ACL source file recording doesn't work from ilisp

   Bob,

   Two things. First, I don't see the error in ACL 6.2 on linux. Have you
   done a sys:update-allegro? Maybe there's a patch. 

I'm tried this just now, and get no difference, in either case.  Does
the first test case work in 6.2?

   Second, although it does seem like the documentation of
   *source-pathname* suggests binding it ought to work, the
   documentation of source-file says:

    setf can be used to record source file information manually, in which
    case the type must be given and be a symbol.

   (setf (source-file 'test :operator) #p"foo") does work.

Yes, but that's problematic for ilisp, which currently does

	(ilisp-eval
	  (format nil "(funcall (compile nil '(lambda () ~A)))"
		  form)
	  package
	  filename)

in order to get a "form" compiled, where the "form" may consist of more
than one definition (e.g. for eval-region-lisp).  In general, it's not
feasible to get the definition name(s) out of the "form" string, so the
Lisp must do this for us.

   I'll submit the bug report and see what happens anyway.

   Larry

Great; thanks.
