That would be reasonable. It's exactly what I argued for. Likewise
wrt the prefix. It excludes things like `letf' that have nothing
to do with CL.

That would be workable, assuming that such decisions are not cast
in concrete when discovered to be mistaken. In the long run,
theory & practice belong together and correct each other.
What has been missing is the above "theory" as a guideline for such
people. Bugs happen. Bugs can be fixed. The guideline above, like
our coding conventions, can help decide what is a bug.
> [ So for example Drew typically doesn't get to decide. ]
Not a problem. I haven't tried to decide or asked to decide.
