INPUT-STREAM-P (CLtL, page 332, ANSI Draft, page 6-36)

Problem Description

When evaluating the example from the ANSI draft, shown below,

	(input-stream-p (make-broadcast-stream))

the value returned is either NIL, in MAC and VAX implementations, or T in Symbolics implementations.

Proposal

Specify the correct value to be returned and verify that other implementations do not make the same mistake. (Note: I sent a bug report to Symbolics.)

Rationale

For validity and conformance.
