Predicate (returns
t or
nil).
The
p suffix in CL is more or less the same thing as

You're boring, please leave
/prog/ already, all you do is hate on anything that uses a GC (you know I can use a GC in C if I want to, right? Although using a GC in a low/mid-level language that can't scan from a root object or parse entire object trees tends to be too conservative and leave some stuff un-GC'd). You could do manual memory management in Lisps if you wanted to (or even, yuck, reference counting), but most of us are fine with using a GC as the cost/benefit ratio is worth it most of the time.
