Mm, that is confusing. I'll avoid doing this in the future.

Please find more CL primitives attached.

I'm not happy with my implementation of MEMBER, it looks nasty and is
probably inefficient. IIUC, Kawa doesn't implement tail-calls by
default due the Java calling conventions. When I have LOOP or
something similar I can improve that easily.

Speaking of nasty, APPLY is even worse. I had to add another overload
in gnu/expr/Apply.java to allow getArguments to be called from Lisp
code. Maybe there is a better way to achieve this.
