Ah, thanks. I was going to try to figure out how to replace errorset,
but hadn't really worked up the energy to do so yet. While I have the
both ANSI CL documentation and CLtL1, I often find it difficult to
figure out the ANSI CL replacements for CLtL-only functions. Any
pointers to replacing EVALHOOK? I think that's the biggest remaining
sticking point in getting Maxima to be fully working under ANSI CL.
