### 4.7.1. Function `COERCE`

`FIXNUM` is not a character designator in [ANSI CL standard], although `CODE-CHAR` provides an obvious venue to `COERCE` a `FIXNUM` to a `CHARACTER`. When `CUSTOM:*COERCE-FIXNUM-CHAR-ANSI*` is `NIL`, CLISP `COERCE`s `FIXNUM`s to `CHARACTER`s via `CODE-CHAR`. When `CUSTOM:*COERCE-FIXNUM-CHAR-ANSI*` is non-`NIL`, `FIXNUM`s cannot be `COERCE`d to `CHARACTER`s.
