Yes.
There is not automatic copy ever done in lisp. You have to
explicitely copy the structures (such as cons, copy-list,
copy-hash-table, copy-my-struct, etc) you use if you want copies (or
use a function that explicitely copies the input data like append does
for all lists but the last). And for some types, there are even no
predefined copier function!
