I don't think this behavior (append "aaaa" "bbbb" "cccc") (97 97 97 97 98 98 98 98 . "cccc") can be deduced from this documentation: append: Concatenate arguments and make the result a list. The result is a list whose elements are the elements of all the arguments. Each argument may be a list, vector or string. I would have thought the answer would be (97 97 97 97 98 98 98 98 99 99 99 99) I don't know whether it is the documentation which is wrong or the code. Compare this function and its documentation to that of "concat"!
