trivial-types
TRIVIAL-TYPES provides missing but important type definitions such as PROPER-LIST, ASSOCIATION-LIST, PROPERTY-LIST and TUPLE.

By using these types, you can keep type declarations more accurate. For example, you may write a class definition like:

(defclass person () ((name :type string)) ((age :type fixnum)) ((friends :type list)))

However, it is not obvious for anyone except you that FRIENDS slot has only a list of person. If you want declare FRIENDS slot more accurately, PROPER-LIST is the best for that:

(defclass person () ((name :type string)) ((age :type fixnum)) ((friends :type (proper-list person))))

In addition, TRIVIAL-TYPES also provides standard designators defined in ANSI standard such as PACKAGE-DESIGNATOR. They are useful when you write a function that takes a package-oid argument like:

(defun list-external-symbols (package) (declare (package-designator package)) (loop for symbol being the external-symbol of package collect symbol))
