It's basic memory structure is a cons cell of | two pointers (car and cdr) to other cons cells. What utter nonsense. First, a binary tree has two pointers and at least one value. Second, "it's" and "its" are still different. Third, there is no particular memory structure that merits "basic" in Common Lisp. /// -- Norway is now run by a priest from the fundamentalist Christian People's Party, the fifth largest party representing one eighth of the electorate. -- Carrying a Swiss Army pocket knife in Oslo, Norway, is a criminal offense.
