[iolib-devel] remote-host on a closed socket.

[Pascal J. Bourguignon]

When calling remote-host on a closed socket, we get an unrelated type
error (on ECL, about NIL not being a FIXNUM).

By analogy to CL:CLOSE, I think it would be better if it returned the
remote-host of the last connection, or either return NIL or a specific
condition (which would be guaranted to be the same on all
implementations).


(let ((s (open "/etc/passwd"))) 
   (close s)
   (pathname s))
--> #P"/etc/passwd"
