[comp.lang.lisp] Series, generators, gatherers, etc. - implementation for Common Lisp?

lgm@cbnewsc.ATT.COM (lawrence.g.mayka) (12/24/89)

I have been reading Steele's "Common Lisp: the Language, 2nd
Edition."  The appendices describe Dick Waters' proposals for
series, generators, gatherers, etc.  Apparently the proposals have
not yet been accepted by X3J13 due to lack of widespread
experience with the facilities.

Waters' proposals seem to have merit, but the question is:  How do
I get an implementation of the facilities, one that runs on at
least one of Symbolics CL, LispWorks, Allegro CL, Sun CL, or
Austin Kyoto CL?  I understand that the suggested optimizations
probably require compiler support, but for my experimentation a
portable and/or unoptimized version would be sufficient.  Is one
available - say, via anonymous FTP?
