I find it very weird that string= is defined as string-equal, which is
defined like the Common Lisp version of string=, i.e. it is case
sensitive. I can't understand the reason why.
Rephrase:
Bug: string-equal is not case insensitive, as it intuitively should
be for a Common Lisp/Zeta Lisp hacker.
Note: string= should be case sensitive.
And the same goes for string< vs string-lessp.
Yours,
