because HGET is a VMLisp-ism and we had to run on the system
on both for a while. Plus HGET or hget appears in many places
in the sources. You're welcome to find all places it occurs
and make a mod to the code. There was great resistance to
making this change at the time as it was not clear that common
lisp would survive but VMLisp surely would. :-)
we have to recode the system into ansi common lisp so we might
as well clean it up as we go.
