I am likely confused.  Is this not the same thing?

Oh.  I guess it isn't.  This is one of the insights I needed, I think.

I'll give that a try... yeah, that fixed it.  I'm surprised I have to do
this, though.  Why are they being treated as the same?

Knowing this, I replaced (string ?u ?l) with (copy-sequence "ul") and so
forth, and got the same result.

Thanks very much for this.  But I'm surprised I have to do it.
