Maybe an obscure dialect (can't find it in Common Lisp, MacLisp or Interlisp).
The symbol `wholenump` is most commonly seen by users in errors as it's generated by CHECK_FIXNAT. It would be good to change that to the less obscure `natnump`, and it seems implausible that such a change would break any code. Any objections?
