What do you mean by that?
Isn't everything that's implemented an implementation
artifact, including bugs?
Do we have any idea why this odd behavior was implemented?
Or are you suggesting that the behavior was an accident?
Is that what you meant by "artifact" here? If so, what
would be the argument for not fixing it, if it was never
intended in the first place and it flies in the face of
Lisp's general behavior?
