| ANSI Common Lisp 16 Strings 16.2 Dictionary of Strings
16.2.7 string | Function
  Syntax: string x string Arguments and Values: x - a string, a symbol, or a character. string - a string. Description: Returns a string described by x; specifically: If x is a string, it is returned. If x is a symbol, its name is returned. If x is a character, then a string containing that one character is returned. string might perform additional, implementation-defined conversions. Examples:
       (string "already a string")  "already a string"
       (string 'elm)  "ELM"
       (string #\c)  "c"
Exceptional Situations: In the case where a conversion is defined neither by this specification nor by the implementation, an error of type type-error is signaled. See Also: coerce, string (type). Notes: coerce can be used to convert a sequence of characters to a string. prin1-to-string, princ-to-string, write-to-string, or format (with a first argument of nil) can be used to get a string representation of a number or any other object. Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
