Apropos the built-in types section, would it make sense to replace a
slightly ambiguous sentence mixing three things:
"On most systems, the :float type represents a C float and a Lisp
single-float. :double represents a C double and a Lisp double-float."
with two separate sentences:
"On all systems the :float type represents a C float, :double
represents
a C double."
and
"On most systems, the :float type a Lisp single-float, :double
represents a Lisp double-float."
Thanks for your suggestion.
On all systems, the @code{:float} and @code{:double} types represent a
C @code{float} and @code{double}, respectively. On most but not all
systems, @code{:float} and @code{:double} represent a Lisp
@code{single-float} and @code{double-float}, respectively. It is not
so useful to consider the relationship between Lisp types and C types
as isomorphic, as simply to recognize the relationship, and relative
precision, among each respective category.
Does this look better?
