Done.

Um. I'm not familiar with those - I was just poking around with
postfix to begin with. Anybody have a good handle on some test cases
for those? It will be a bit before I can mess with them, my schedule
for the next week or two is rather insane.

P.S. - are we adding checks for upper/lower case behavior to the test
suite, or is that not needed? Might come in handy if porting to a new
lisp with odd behavior or some such, but other than that would we ever
expect the bug to reappear?
