 61   <h2>Description:</h2>
 62 
 63   <p>The SUBSEQ-TEMPLATE class denotes those object  that are used
 64   to unify against a particular element of an ARRAY.</p>
 65 
 66   <h3>Template Syntax:</h3>
 67 
 68   <p>
 69   <pre>
 70   #T(<b>subseq</b> <i>start</i> <i>end</i> . <i>&lt;destructuring template lambda list&gt;</i>)
 71   </pre>
 72   </p>
 73 
 74 
 75   <p>The SUBSEQ-TEMPLATE syntax is used to unify the elements of a
 76   SEQUENCE starting from <i>start</i> and below <i>end</i>, against
 77   the <i>&lt;destructuring template lambda list&gt;</i>.</p>
 78 
 79   <p><i>start</i> and <i>end</i> must be supplied and must be valid
 80   sequence indexes, i.e. most likely, FIXNUMs; however, <i>end</i> can
 81   also be NIL, in which case the usual SUBSEQ semantics applies.</p>
 82   
 83 
 84 
 85   <h2>Examples:</h2>
 86 
 87   <p>
 88   <pre>
 89   cl-prompt> (setf e (unify #(0 1 42 3 4 5) #T(<b>subseq</b> 2 4 ?x ?y)))
 90   #&lt;ENVIRONMENT xxx&gt;

 98   T
 99 
100   cl-prompt> (setq e (unify #(0 1 42 3 4 5) #T(<b>subseq</b> 0 4 42 ?x)))
101   --> Error: UNIFICATION-FAILURE
102 
103 
104   cl-prompt> (setq e (unify "This is a string!" #T(<b>subseq</b> 4 nil &amp;rest ?str)))
105   #&lt;ENVIRONMENT xxx&gt;
106 
107   cl-prompt> (find-variable-value '?str e)
108   " is a string!"
109   </pre>
110   </p>
111 
112 
113   <h2>Affected By:</h2>
114 
115   <p>None.</p>
116 
117 
118   <h2>Exceptional Situations:</h2>
119 
120   <p>Unifying an SUBSEQ-TEMPLATE against a non-SEQUENCE object results in
121   an UNIFICATION-FAILURE error being signaled.</p>
