CLISP will, if CUSTOM:*DEFUN-ACCEPT-SPECIALIZED-LAMBDA-LIST* is non-NIL
http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/flow-dict.html#defun-accept-spelalist

Variable CUSTOM:*DEFUN-ACCEPT-SPECIALIZED-LAMBDA-LIST*. When
CUSTOM:*DEFUN-ACCEPT-SPECIALIZED-LAMBDA-LIST* is non-NIL, DEFUN accepts
specialized lambda lists, converting type-parameter associations to type
declarations:

(defun f ((x list) (y integer)) ...)

is equivalent to

(defun f (x y) (declare (type list x) (type integer y)) ...)

This extension is disabled by -ansi and by setting CUSTOM:*ANSI* to T,
but can be re-enabled by setting
CUSTOM:*DEFUN-ACCEPT-SPECIALIZED-LAMBDA-LIST* explicitly.

Thanks. I've uploaded ABLE 0.1.1 to fix this problem (I think I caught
them all) and compiled a shiny new clisp 2.41 on my machine to work
with from now on.

Someone asked me if ABLE could be used on a Windows PC. I'd never
tried but I thought I'd give it a go on a PC in the office:

- download Tcl/Tk from ActiveState
- write a 2 line batch file (cd "C:\path\to\able" \n "C:\path\to
\clisp.exe" -i "start.lisp")
- double click the batch file...works first time

Back in my C++ days I'd be trying to work out which combination of
compiler switches generated the least errors - hurrah for Lisp (and
CLisp, Tcl/Tk and LTk).
