I'm going to continue to churn out tests.  The order in which we fix
the problems is largely irrelevant to me, unless I encounter a problem
that causes the tests to abort.  I doubt all the tests will be in
place by 3/1 (and you should probably cease anything but dire bugfixes
a few weeks before that.)

It would be nice to have UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE working, since
I would like to use it in some of the array tests I'm working on now.

Speaking of specialized arrays:  I'm going to check in this interesting
failing test this morning:

CL-TEST>(do-test 'make-array.33)

Test MAKE-ARRAY.33 failed
Form: (MAKE-ARRAY-WITH-CHECKS '(5) :ELEMENT-TYPE 'SHORT-FLOAT
          :INITIAL-CONTENTS '(1.0S0 2.0S0 3.0S0 4.0S0 5.0S0))
Expected value: #(1.0S0 2.0S0 3.0S0 4.0S0 5.0S0)
Actual value: #(1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0).
NIL

CL-TEST>(type-of (aref (make-array '5 :element-type 'short-float
            :initial-element 1.0s0) 0))

LONG-FLOAT

CL-TEST>(type-of 1.0s0)

SHORT-FLOAT

CL-TEST>(array-element-type (make-array '5 :element-type 'short-float))

SHORT-FLOAT
