        The Hyperspec says that the default for end is nil, but:
    
        * (write-string "bla" *standard-output* :start 0 :end nil)
    
        Type-error in KERNEL::OBJECT-NOT-FIXNUM-ERROR-HANDLER:
           NIL is not of type FIXNUM
    
    Fix this and make the default for :END be NIL.  (Hmm, I suppose we
    don't really have to default to NIL since NIL means the end of the
    string anyway, but we should at least accept NIL as a valid :END
    value.  I didn't do that.)
