[developers] closure change in ACL 8.0

[Stephan Oepen]

hei!

moving from 7.0 to 8.0, i noticed the following now breaks:

  (eval-when #+:ansi-eval-when (:load-toplevel :compile-toplevel :execute)
             #-:ansi-eval-when (load eval compile)
    (let ((n -1))
      (defun reset-failure-count () 
        (setf n -1))

      (defstruct failure
        (id (incf n))
        nature type1 type2 glb path suffix context)))

the `failure' constructor apparently closured `n' in the past and now
no longer does.  i admit i have yet to look up the ANSI spec on this,
in  fact was hoping you could tell me.  either way, i felt you should
consider adding an entry on it in section 6.2 of the release notes.

                                                      all best  -  oe
