<p><strong>element</strong> <em>n.</em> 1. (of a <span><i>list</i></span>) an <span><i>object</i></span> that is the <span><i>car</i></span> of one of the <em>conses</em> that comprise the <span><i>list</i></span>. 2. (of an <span><i>array</i></span>) an <span><i>object</i></span> that is stored in the <span><i>array</i></span>. 3. (of a <em>sequence</em>) an <span><i>object</i></span> that is an <span><i>element</i></span> of the <span><i>list</i></span> or <span><i>array</i></span> that is the <em>sequence</em>. 4. (of a <span><i>type</i></span>) an <span><i>object</i></span> that is a member of the set of <span><i>objects</i></span> designated by the <span><i>type</i></span>. 5.

<p><span><i>stream</i></span>) a <span><i>character</i></span> or <span><i>number</i></span> (as appropriate to the <span><i>element type</i></span> of the <span><i>stream</i></span>) that is among the ordered series of <span><i>objects</i></span> that can be read from the <span><i>stream</i></span> (using <span><b>read-char</b></span> or <span><b>read-byte</b></span>, as appropriate to the <span><i>stream</i></span>). 6. (of an <em>output stream</em>) a</p>
<p><span><i>character</i></span> or <span><i>number</i></span> (as appropriate to the <span><i>element type</i></span> of the <span><i>stream</i></span>) that is among the ordered series of <span><i>objects</i></span> that has been or will be written to the <span><i>stream</i></span> (using <span><b>write-char</b></span> or <span><b>write-byte</b></span>, as appropriate to the <span><i>stream</i></span>). 7.

<p><strong>em</strong> <em>n. Trad.</em> a context-dependent unit of measure commonly used in typesetting, equal to the displayed width of of a letter “M” in the current font. (The letter “M” is traditionally chosen because it is typically represented by the widest <span><i>glyph</i></span> in the font, and other characters widths are typically fractions of an <span><i>em</i></span>. In implementations providing non-Roman characters with wider characters than “M,” it is permissible for another character to be the <span><i>implementation-defined</i></span> reference character for this measure, and for “M” to be only a fraction of an <span><i>em</i></span> wide.) In a fixed width font, a line with <em>n</em> characters is <em>n ems</em> wide; in a variable width font, <em>n ems</em> is the expected upper bound on the width of such a line.</p>
<p><strong>empty list</strong> <em>n.</em> the <span><i>list</i></span> containing no <span><i>elements</i></span>. See <em>()</em>.</p>
<p><strong>empty type</strong> <em>n.</em> the <span><i>type</i></span> that contains no <span><i>elements</i></span>, and that is a <span><i>subtype</i></span> of all <span><i>types</i></span> (including itself). See <span><i>nil</i></span>.</p>
<p><strong>end of file</strong> <em>n.</em> 1. the point in an <em>input stream</em> beyond which there is no further data. Whether or not there is such a point on an <span><i>interactive stream</i></span> is <em>implementation defined</em>. 2. a <span><i>situation</i></span> that occurs upon an attempt to obtain data from an <em>input stream</em> that is at the <span><i>end of file</i></span><sub>1</sub>.</p>
<p><strong>environment</strong> <em>n.</em> 1. a set of <span><i>bindings</i></span>. See Section 3.1.1 (Introduction to Environments). 2. an <span><i>environment object</i></span>. “<span><b>macroexpand</b></span> takes an optional environment argument.”</p>
<p><strong>environment object</strong> <em>n.</em> an <span><i>object</i></span> representing a set of <span><i>lexical bindings</i></span>, used in the processing of a <span><i>form</i></span> to provide meanings for <span><i>names</i></span> within that <span><i>form</i></span>. “<span><b>macroexpand</b></span> takes an optional environment argument.” (The <span><i>object</i></span> <span><b>nil</b></span> when used as an <span><i>environment object</i></span> denotes the <span><i>null lexical environment</i></span>; the <span><i>values</i></span> of <span><i>environment parameters</i></span> to <span><i>macro functions</i></span> are <span><i>objects</i></span> of <span><i>implementation-dependent</i></span> nature which represent the <span><i>environment</i></span><sub>1</sub> in which the corresponding <span><i>macro form</i></span> is to be expanded.) See Section 3.1.1.4 (Environment Objects).</p>
<p><strong>environment parameter</strong> <em>n.</em> A <span><i>parameter</i></span> in a <em>defining form f</em> for which there is no corresponding <span><i>argument</i></span>; instead, this <span><i>parameter</i></span> receives as its value an <span><i>environment object</i></span> which corresponds to the <span><i>lexical environment</i></span> in which the <em>defining form f</em> appeared.</p>
<p><span><b>error</b></span> <em>n.</em> 1. (only in the phrase “is an error”) a <span><i>situation</i></span> in which the semantics of a program are not specified, and in which the consequences are undefined. 2. a <span><i>condition</i></span> which represents an <em>error situation</em>. See Section 1.4.2 (Error Terminology). 3. an <span><i>object</i></span> of <span><i>type</i></span> <span><b>error</b></span>.</p>
<p><strong>error output</strong> <em>n.</em> the <em>output stream</em> which is the <span><i>value</i></span> of the <span><i>dynamic variable</i></span></p>
<p><strong>*error-output*</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>escape</strong> <em>n.</em>, <em>adj.</em> 1. <em>n.</em> a <span><i>single escape</i></span> or a <span><i>multiple escape</i></span>. 2. <em>adj. single escape</em> or <span><i>multiple escape</i></span>.</p>
<p><strong>establish</strong> <em>v.t.</em> to build or bring into being a <span><i>binding</i></span>, a <span><i>declaration</i></span>, an <span><i>exit point</i></span>, a <span><i>tag</i></span>, a <span><i>handler</i></span> , a <span><i>restart</i></span>, or an <span><i>environment</i></span>. “<span><b>let</b></span> establishes lexical bindings.”</p>
<p><strong>evaluate</strong> <em>v.t.</em> (a <span><i>form</i></span> or an <span><i>implicit progn</i></span>) to <span><i>execute</i></span> the <span><i>code</i></span> represented by the <span><i>form</i></span> (or the series of <span><i>forms</i></span> making up the <span><i>implicit progn</i></span>) by applying the rules of <span><i>evaluation</i></span>, returning zero or more values.</p>
<p><strong>evaluation</strong> <em>n.</em> a model whereby <span><i>forms</i></span> are <em>executed</em>, returning zero or more values. Such execution might be implemented directly in one step by an interpreter or in two steps by first <em>compiling</em> the <span><i>form</i></span> and then <em>executing</em> the <span><i>compiled code</i></span>; this choice is dependent both on context and the nature of the <span><i>implementation</i></span>, but in any case is not in general detectable by any program. The evaluation model is designed in such a way that a <span><i>conforming implementation</i></span> might legitimately have only a compiler and no interpreter, or vice versa. See Section 3.1.2 (The Evaluation Model).</p>
<p><strong>evaluation environment</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>run-time environment</i></span> in which macro expanders and code specified by <span><b>eval-when</b></span> to be evaluated are evaluated. All evaluations initiated by the <span><i>compiler</i></span> take place in the <span><i>evaluation environment</i></span>.</p>
<p><strong>execute</strong> <em>v.t. Trad.</em> (<span><i>code</i></span>) to perform the imperative actions represented by the <span><i>code</i></span>. <strong>execution time</strong> <em>n.</em> the duration of time that <span><i>compiled code</i></span> is being <em>executed</em>.</p>
<p><strong>exhaustive partition</strong> <em>n.</em> (of a <span><i>type</i></span>) a set of <em>pairwise disjoint types</em> that form an <span><i>exhaustive union</i></span>.</p>
<p><strong>exhaustive union</strong> <em>n.</em> (of a <span><i>type</i></span>) a set of <span><i>subtypes</i></span> of the <span><i>type</i></span>, whose union contains all <span><i>elements</i></span> of that <span><i>type</i></span>.</p>
<p><strong>exit point</strong> <em>n.</em> a point in a <span><i>control form</i></span> from which (<em>e.g.</em>, <span><b>block</b></span>), through which (<em>e.g.</em>, <span><b>unwind-protect</b></span>), or to which (<em>e.g.</em>, <span><b>tagbody</b></span>) control and possibly <span><i>values</i></span> can be transferred both actively by using another <span><i>control form</i></span> and passively through the normal control and data flow of <span><i>evaluation</i></span>. “<span><b>catch</b></span> and <span><b>block</b></span> establish bindings for exit points to which <span><b>throw</b></span> and <span><b>return-from</b></span>, respectively, can transfer control and values; <span><b>tagbody</b></span> establishes a binding for an exit point with lexical extent to which <span><b>go</b></span> can transfer control; and <span><b>unwind-protect</b></span> establishes an exit point through which control might be transferred by operators such as <span><b>throw</b></span>, <span><b>return-from</b></span>, and <span><b>go</b></span>.”</p>
<p><strong>explicit return</strong> <em>n.</em> the act of transferring control (and possibly <span><i>values</i></span>) to a <span><i>block</i></span> by using <span><b>return-from</b></span> (or <span><b>return</b></span>).</p>
<p><strong>explicit use</strong> <em>n.</em> (of a <em>variable V</em> in a <em>form F</em>) a reference to <em>V</em> that is directly apparent in the normal semantics of <em>F</em>; <em>i.e.</em>, that does not expose any undocumented details of the <span><i>macro expansion</i></span> of the <span><i>form</i></span> itself. References to <em>V</em> exposed by expanding <span><i>subforms</i></span> of <em>F</em> are, however, considered to be <span><i>explicit uses</i></span> of <em>V</em> .</p>
<p><strong>exponent marker</strong> <em>n.</em> a character that is used in the textual notation for a <span><i>float</i></span> to separate the mantissa from the exponent. The characters defined as <span><i>exponent markers</i></span> in the <span><i>standard readtable</i></span> are shown in Figure 261. For more information, see Section 2.1 (Character Syntax). “The exponent marker d in 3.0d7 indicates that this</p>
<p>number is to be represented as a double float.”</p>

<p><strong>expressed adjustability</strong> <em>n.</em> (of an <span><i>array</i></span>) a <span><i>generalized boolean</i></span> that is conceptually (but not necessarily actually) associated with the <span><i>array</i></span>, representing whether the <span><i>array</i></span> is <span><i>expressly adjustable</i></span>. See also <span><i>actual adjustability</i></span>.</p>
<p><strong>expressed array element type</strong> <em>n.</em> (of an <span><i>array</i></span>) the <span><i>type</i></span> which is the <span><i>array element type</i></span> implied by a <span><i>type declaration</i></span> for the <span><i>array</i></span>, or which is the requested <span><i>array</i></span></p>
<p><span><i>element type</i></span> at its time of creation, prior to any selection of an <span><i>upgraded array element type</i></span>. (Common Lisp does not provide a way of detecting this <span><i>type</i></span> directly at run time, but an <span><i>implementation</i></span> is permitted to make assumptions about the <span><i>array</i></span>s contents and the operations which may be performed on the <span><i>array</i></span> when this <span><i>type</i></span> is noted during code analysis, even if those assumptions would not be valid in general for the <span><i>upgraded array element type</i></span> of the <span><i>expressed array element type</i></span>.)</p>
<p><strong>expressed complex part type</strong> <em>n.</em> (of a <span><i>complex</i></span> ) the <span><i>type</i></span> which is implied as the <span><i>complex part type</i></span> by a <span><i>type declaration</i></span> for the <span><i>complex</i></span> , or which is the requested <span><i>complex part type</i></span> at its time of creation, prior to any selection of an <span><i>upgraded complex part type</i></span>. (Common Lisp does not provide a way of detecting this <span><i>type</i></span> directly at run time, but an <span><i>implementation</i></span> is permitted to make assumptions about the operations which may be performed on the <span><i>complex</i></span> when this <span><i>type</i></span> is noted during code analysis, even if those assumptions would not be valid in general for the <span><i>upgraded complex part type</i></span> of the <span><i>expressed complex part type</i></span>.)</p>
<p><strong>expression</strong> <em>n.</em> 1. an <span><i>object</i></span>, often used to emphasize the use of the <span><i>object</i></span> to encode or represent information in a specialized format, such as program text. “The second expression in a <span><b>let</b></span> form is a list of bindings.” 2. the textual notation used to notate an <span><i>object</i></span> in a source file. “The expression sample is equivalent to (quote sample).”</p>
<p><strong>expressly adjustable</strong> <em>adj.</em> (of an <span><i>array</i></span>) being <span><i>actually adjustable</i></span> by virtue of an explicit request for this characteristic having been made at the time of its creation. All <span><i>arrays</i></span> that are <span><i>expressly adjustable</i></span> are <span><i>actually adjustable</i></span>, but not necessarily vice versa.</p>
<p><strong>extended character</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>character</i></span> of <span><i>type</i></span> <span><b>extended-char</b></span>: a <span><i>character</i></span> that is not a <span><i>base character</i></span> .</p>

The consequences are undefined if a <span><i>function name</i></span> is used as an <span><i>extended function designator</i></span> but it does not have a global definition as a <span><i>function</i></span>, or if it is a <span><i>symbol</i></span> that has a global definition as a <span><i>macro</i></span> or a <span><i>special form</i></span>. See also <span><i>function designator</i></span> .</p>
<p><strong>extended lambda list</strong> <em>n.</em> a list resembling an <span><i>ordinary lambda list</i></span> in form and</p>
<p>purpose, but offering additional syntax or functionality not available in an <span><i>ordinary lambda list</i></span>. “<span><b>defmacro</b></span> uses extended lambda lists.”</p>
<p><strong>extension</strong> <em>n.</em> a facility in an <span><i>implementation</i></span> of Common Lisp that is not specified by this standard.</p>
<p><strong>extent</strong> <em>n.</em> the interval of time during which a <span><i>reference</i></span> to an <span><i>object</i></span>, a <span><i>binding</i></span>, an <span><i>exit point</i></span>, a <span><i>tag</i></span>, a <span><i>handler</i></span> , a <span><i>restart</i></span>, or an <span><i>environment</i></span> is defined.</p>
<p><strong>external file format</strong> <em>n.</em> an <span><i>object</i></span> of <span><i>implementation-dependent</i></span> nature which</p>
<p>determines one of possibly several <span><i>implementation-dependent</i></span> ways in which <span><i>characters</i></span> are encoded externally in a <em>character file</em>.</p>
<p><strong>external file format designator</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>designator</i></span> for an <span><i>external file format</i></span>; that is, an <span><i>object</i></span> that denotes an <span><i>external file format</i></span> and that is one of: the <span><i>symbol</i></span></p>
<p>:default<!-- --> (denoting an <span><i>implementation-dependent</i></span> default <span><i>external file format</i></span> that can accomodate at least the <span><i>base characters</i></span>), some other <span><i>object</i></span> defined by the</p>
