In what sense does the language differ? Here's a quote from CLtL2 (page 115): "it is an error to destructively modify any object that appears as a constant in executable code, whether within a 'quote' special form or as a self-evaluating form." This use of the word "constant" is consistent with what's in the emacs-27 doc. > Elisp corresponds > to the behavior of CLTL1 in this regard, not to any > later update Those older CLtL semantics were not well-defined, and to the extent that they were defined were not followed by Common Lisp implementations. It's not clear that the emacs-27 Elisp implementation corresponds to those older semantics, and it's also not clear that documenting CLtL1 semantics would be a good idea for Elisp. > A few mails ago, you wondered if the disagreement > has been only about terminology.

I responded to those specific wording objections by removing the "immutable"s and "cannots" that were objected to. At least, that was my intent; if I missed something please let me know. I admit I have not made changes in response to vaguer suggestions, but that's partly because I don't really understand what's involved.
