That would be very nice.
Thanks to everybody's help, I managed to get some example code
working, letting me do stuff like this:
* (defparameter v (make-vector 3 4)
V
* v
#
* (setf (angle v) (degrees->radians 60))
((MTIMES RATSIMP) ((RAT) 1 2)
((MTIMES RATSIMP) 5 ((MEXPT SIMP) 3 ((RAT SIMP) 1 2))))
* v
#
I'm beaming with joy!
