Subject: Fix nreverse

Message-ID: <m34n0jc1p6.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi there,

I find the decision to leave out strings in nreverse inconvenient. Why
don't we dispatch to reverse when SEQ is string instead of throwing an
error? This would make nreverse and reverse symmetric. I hope "N" mean
we `may' not `must' destructively modify the argument. Objections?

Leo
