In section 24.1 of their "Programming the User Interface" manual, Symbolics
says that when a user-defined handler for a margin choice box is called, the
special variable self is bound to the window. I'm placing
(declare (special self)) within my handler function, but when I attempt to
reference self within my handler, it turns out that the value of self is nil.
Is this bogus documentation, or is there something I should be doing
differently? Right now I have everything working using a hacked version of
tv:choose-variable-values, but I'd like to know whether or not it's possible to
do things the official, documented way.
