Ran into this while trying to distinguish a cons from a list:
Try this:
(setq a (cons 1 2)) => (1 . 2)
(consp a) => t
(listp a) => t
(length a)=> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp 2)
Q: how does one distinguish a cons from a list.
The error message for length may need fixing since it says the
argument passed to it is not a list (it's correct) but then listp is wrong?
