Many/most/all archived mailing list messages have long lines.

One example is ​http://clozure.com/pipermail/openmcl-devel/2009-December/010792.html

The following two links suggest how this can be corrected.

The ccl-documentation.html does not mention *command-line-argument-list*. I believe it should. :)

If you supply me with a specification of CCL command line argument handling, I offer writing the missing documentation myself.

Cheers, max

PS: Thanks for the great work on ccl!

The fact that the "lambda-list" for u is an atom should signal a program-error.

CLHS flet says:

  lambda-list---a lambda list; for flet and labels, it is an ordinary lambda list; 

and CLHS 3.4.1 says:

The syntax for ordinary lambda lists is as follows:

lambda-list::= (var* 
                [&optional {var | (var [init-form [supplied-p-parameter]])}*] 
                [&rest var] 
                [&key {var | ({var | (keyword-name var)} [init-form [supplied-p-parameter]])}* [&allow-other-keys]] 
                [&aux {var | (var [init-form])}*]) 

so lambda-list for flet and labels cannot be an atom.

And in the case where I found this, u was also a global function, so perhaps this could be tested by the compiler to add a hint in the error message that perhaps the form was intented to be in the body of the flet.
