Introduction:

	A significant portion of Common LISP functionality is not tested by the
	existing Common LISP regression test suite (found in SYS:VALID;).  This
	suite is run whenever a new system has been compiled.

Proposal:

	Part I:

	Spend one day or so surveying the test suite to determine which
	functionality is without test/validation sequences, attaching
	programmer-time	estimates for each major category of tests not
	currently in existence. (Already underway)

	Part II:

        Write test/validation regression tests for that portion of overall
	CommonLISP functionality not currently covered by the existing Common
	LISP test suite.
