New function - makelist alternative: table()ing Lisp ECL 9.4.1



As I have documented before, create_list has a fatal design flaw:
ambiguous syntax, unlike Ziga's 'table', which is unambiguous.  I
would recommend that create_list be removed from the system after
table is fully integrated.

There is an important functional difference between create_list and
table: table returns a nested list, while create_list returns a flat
one.  Both can be useful.  Perhaps there should also be a table_list
function?
