14.2.20 pop | Macro
  Syntax: pop place element Arguments and Values: place - a place, the value of which is a list (possibly, but necessarily, a dotted list or circular list). element - an object (the car of the contents of place). Description: pop reads the value of place, remembers the car of the list which was retrieved, writes the cdr of the list back into the place, and finally yields the car of the originally retrieved list. For information about the evaluation of subforms of place, see Section 5.1.1.1 Evaluation of Subforms to Places. Examples:
       (setq stack '(a b c))  (A B C)
       (pop stack)   A
       stack  (B C)
       (setq llst '((1 2 3 4)))  ((1 2 3 4))
       (pop (car llst))  1
       llst  ((2 3 4))
  Side Effects: The contents of place are modified. See Also: push, pushnew, Section 5.1 Generalized Reference Notes: The effect of `(pop place)` is roughly equivalent to
       (prog1 (car place) (setf place (cdr place)))
except that the latter would evaluate any subforms of place three times, while pop evaluates them only once. Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
