Shouldn't (char 0) --> "\000"?

yes that is a bug, it should be:

(char 0) => "\000" ; not ""

I will post a new developers release tomorrow with a fix for '(char 0)' and recognition of the precision spec for strings in format:

(format "%5.2" "hello") => " he" ; 3 spaces in front of 'he'

and a new documentation with Nigel's corrections: rev-4
