Re: Why not a setf-able NIL ?

Indeed. Personnaly, I'm quite worried by the hardcoding of neutral
charge into neutron. Why are we not able to rebind all the neutrons
in the universe to some charge? Try to imagine what would happen if
suddenly all the neutrons were -2e.
In contrast to the enforcement of NIL's value, it is not forbidden to
make computer simulations of what you say. That's the difference.
