Well, yes, I was complaining that sometimes the result is not a member of TABLE or does not satisfy PREDICATE. For instance if PREDICATE is (lambda (s) (eq s 'Hello)) then any result ought to be EXACTLY 'Hello and neither 'hello nor 'HELLO are allowed, even in a caSe-inSenSitive search. Anything else would be confusing for a programmer, I think. > I do not believe that > there still are problems with finding out correctly whether or not > there is a match. I did not see any problem of this kind.
