It's not really about memq ---
some of it is just individual preferences
I am opposed to diddling with working code.
Robert is opposed to re-indenting.
I prefer proper indentation (as does SMH)
Robert prefers to remove Maclisp names or idioms.
I don't mind them, usually.
You may know what you are doing, and this change may be harmless, but what
if you make a typo somewhere? And encouraging you may lead other people to
make changes to programs which they may not really understand, when the
programs work.
And as it happens, I've shown a better alternative for memq anyway, and I
hope you try it out and time it.
