Argument must evaluate to a list (or cons pair).
<P>
The function <em> cxyr</em> is a composition of the function <em> cxr</em> with <em> cyr</em>. So, for example, <tt> (cadr foo)</tt> is equivalent to <tt> (car (cdr foo))</tt>, etc. Full implementation of the ANSI Common Lisp specification provides for up to 4 letters, a or d, to appear between the c and the r.
