MAN STRING.EQUAL fails to find it #653

Open masinter opened 2 years ago

I don't see STRING.EQUAL in the IRM, though that surprises me a little, but I guess that means there's no corresponding documentation change necessary. ? image

That's STRING-EQUAL, not STRING.EQUAL -- both exist and the one that Ron fixed was STRING.EQUAL; STRING-EQUAL is now really CL:STRING-EQUAL and takes different (common lisp) arguments, so... perhaps there's a note about this in one of the supplemental/release documents?

I looked around when I encountered this and couldn’t find any mention. And the dot vs hyphen was confusing.

I think the STRING.EQUAL must have been an internal function that just had upper/lower equivalence of full strings, the other had substring indexes.
