<tt>car</tt> is an archaic form of the function <a
|
|
href="node95.html"><tt>first</tt></a> and the two may be used
|
|
interchangeably. (Historical note: "CAR" is an acronym for "Contents
|
|
of Address Register" which refers to the way in which linked lists
|
|
were originally implemented in Lisp.)
