[Gcl-devel] On the package tests

[Paul F. Dietz]

Comments on the tests:

(1) Many package functions take package designators as an argument.
  A package designator can be a package object or a string designator.
  A string designator can be a string, a character, or a symbol
  (or other things on which the function STRING does not fail.)
  Many tests are failing because string designators are not handled,
  or not handled fully.

(2) gcl doesn't implement the DELETE-PACKAGE function, even in ansi
  mode.  Many tests set up packages, do something, then clean up
  after themselves with DELETE-PACKAGE.  They're all failing now.

I found one test (FIND-SYMBOL.8) that was busted; it's been fixed.
