 61   <h2>Description:</h2>
 62 
 63   <p>The ELT-TEMPLATE class denotes those object  that are used
 64   to unify against a particular element of a SEQUENCE.</p>
 65 
 66   <h3>Template Syntax:</h3>
 67 
 68   <p>
 69   <pre>
 70   #T(<b>elt</b> <i>index</i> <i>item</i>)
 71   </pre>
 72   </p>
 73 
 74   <p>The ELT-TEMPLATE syntax denotes the element of <i>item</i> at
 75   <i>index</i>.  An ELT-TEMPLATE must be unified against a SEQUENCE
 76   object.  <i>item</i> is <em>unified</em> against the element
 77   extracted from the sequence object at <i>index</i> by the standard
 78   function ELT.<p>
 79

 81   <h2>Examples:</h2>
 82 
 83   <p>
 84   <pre>
 85   cl-prompt> (setf e (unify #(0 1 42 3 4 5) #T(<b>elt</b> 2 ?x)))
 86   #&lt;ENVIRONMENT xxx&gt;

 89   42
 90 
 91   cl-prompt> (setq e (unify #(0 1 42 3 4 5) #T(<b>elt</b> 42 ?x)))
 92   --> Error: index 42 out of bounds.
 93 
 94 
 95   cl-prompt> (setq e (unify 42 #T(<b>elt</b> 42 ?x)))
 96   --> Error: UNIFICATION-FAILURE
 97
