4.7.1. Function COERCE

4.7.1. Function `COERCE`

FIXNUM is not a character designator in [ANSI CL], although CODE-CHAR provides an obvious venue to COERCE a FIXNUM to a CHARACTER. When CUSTOM:*COERCE-FIXNUM-CHAR-ANSI* is NIL, CLISP COERCEs FIXNUMs to CHARACTERs via CODE-CHAR. When CUSTOM:*COERCE-FIXNUM-CHAR-ANSI* is non-NIL, FIXNUMs cannot be COERCEd to CHARACTERs.
