Here are my (probably naive) comments 1) why is there THREAD.NAME, this looks like it isn't consistant with the rest of the function names. The . is what I'm not liking. 2) would it be more flexible to pass keyword arguments to the thread function that is require in SPAWN-THREAD?
It looks good. As part of the implementation I think there ought to be a test suite that can test the conformance of a Lisp implementation. As discussed in this thread, it is probably important that global/special variables work the same way in all Lisps - or provide a wrapping mechanism to portable access thread shared variables.
