Redefines the standard coerce function, allowing it to take any Common Lisp type specifier.
Package
common-lisp
Signature
coerce object result-type => result
Arguments
object
A Lisp object.
result-type
A type specifier.
Values
result
An object of type result-type
Description
The coerce function still performs those conversions required by the standard, but a larger set of type specifiers is allowed for coercion. A type-error is signalled if result cannot be returned as the result-type specifies.
