| I'm stumped.  Are you talking about doing:
| 
| (defun encode-time-values (days seconds milliseconds)
|   (dpb seconds (byte 17 10)
|        (dpb milliseconds (byte 10 0)
|             (ash days 27))))
| 
| ?

  no.

  I'm hinting at encoding year-month-day and hour-minute-second as bytes in
  a fixnum.  little did I know this would be paper material in complexity.
