1061	Multidimensional array reader syntax	bayerf		"The reader signals an error when the first sequence in the initial contents list isn't a list, but a vector, bitvector or string when parsing a 2-dimensional array literal:

? #2a(""ab"" #*01)

> Error: Reader error on #<CCL::RECORDING-CHARACTER-INPUT-STREAM #x2100CE960D>,
near position 14:
>        Initial contents for #A is inconsistent with dimensions: #2A(""ab"" #<SIMPLE-BIT-VECTOR 2>)
> While executing: CCL::SIGNAL-READER-ERROR, in process listener(1).


If the first sequence is a list, everything works fine:

? #2a((1 2) ""ab"" #*10)
#2A((1 2) (#\a #\b) (1 0))

Creating the array with make-array also works fine:

? (make-array '(2 2) :initial-contents '(""ab"" #*10))
#2A((#\a #\b) (1 0))"	defect	closed	normal		ANSI CL Compliance	trunk	fixed		fred@…
