If you don't request a specific type, you get an array that can hold any Lisp value. It is usually a mistake to request specific types unless you know it will have performance benefits, just like it is usually a mistake to declare the type of arguments to functions until you know what you _won't_ need. #:Erik -- "When you are having a bad day and it seems like everybody is trying to piss you off, remember that it takes 42 muscles to produce a frown, but only 4 muscles to work the trigger of a good sniper rifle." -- Unknown
