add IO chapter containing READ-FILE-INTO-{STRING,BYTE-VECTOR}

  change include/fun-alexandria-ensure-gethash.texinfo
  -> include/macro-alexandria-ensure-gethash.texinfo

 Return NIL if the sequence is empty, instead of the NO-EXTREMUM nonsense.

 It was bad design, because it's not an error someone higher up the stack can
 sensibly handle, and handling it locally is too verbose and slow.

    (or (extremum ...) (error ...))

 expresses the common case succintly, and fits the pattern of existing
 sequence functions.

 If it is deemed necessary, we can also add &KEY DEFAULT, but that seems
 overkill and has little precedent in sequence functions.

  A simple version built on top of REDUCE for now.

  Yech. Phui. Tabs.

  Workarounds for the Clisp and CMUCL failures.

  Newer Clisp's no longer have the stack-overflow for the hash-table test, so
  enable it too.

  Added test-case.

  It's destructive.

  This reverts commit 485544d4.

  MEAN and MEDIAN are again non-generic, and DISPLACE-ARRAY is removed.

  Motivation on the mailing list.

 Objects other than sequences have means and medians (eg probability
 distributions, arrays, sequences/arrays wrapped in another object, etc), so
 it makes sense to make these functions generic.

 DISPLACE-ARRAY is a small utility function that is used in the implementation
 of MEDIAN for arrays, but is also of general utility because it makes the
 creation of displaced arrays simpler, dispensing with the need to specify the
 element type, and offering sensible defaults when one wants vectors.

 Also added tests for all the new functions/methods.

 Evaluate the default-form only if we actually use it.

  Multiple evaluation of the function argument, oops.

  Clozure CL at least considers it currently unused and
  signals a style warning.

  Plus tests.

  No need to depend on the vagaries of ADJUST-ARRAY.

  CIRCULAR-TREE-P had an unfortunate corner case, causing it to overflow
  the stack (seen and repoted at #lisp for '#1=(#1#).)

  The problem is caused by the end-test (of the outer DO) being run before the
  body has a first chance to check for (member slow seen).

 Check for empty sequences and invalid bounding index designators.

 ...I of all people should know this...

 Should have done this ages ago.

 Patch by Gustavo on alexandria-devel.

 Also add tests.

  I've been wondering about adding these for a fair while
  now, but they _are_ nice when writing eg. certain kinds
  of macros,

* Alter `format-symbol` to accept a string designator as the format
  control.
* Use uninterned symbols as format control for type names in type.lisp
  to get the correct names in case-sensitive lisps.

 Make sure we build the documentation from the in-tree version
 of Alexandria.
