The nested expressions have better cache locality and also avoid any additional object allocation or initialization. +- Allow passing the `'bin` symbol to `Cyc-installation-dir` to return the location of the installation directory for binaries. + +Bug Fixes + +- Prevent the possibility of a segmentation fault when passing am improper list to the `member` and `assoc` family of functions.
