Note, this is hardly urgent!

... because (IL:STORAGE.LEFT) is only returning a 3 element list instead of the 5 elements that CL:ROOM expects. It's not clear that the DINFO documentation for IL:STORAGE.LEFT (5 elements) is current and whether the info it suggests would be returned makes sense in current systems.

Note that (IL:STORAGE) provides much more information.

@masinter thank you. I will try this on Monday. Pretty sure someone else should check it as my knowledge of the internals of this is zero.
