222 @defun fill sequence object @t{&key :start :end}
223 This function fills the sequence @var{sequence} with @var{object}, so
224 that each element of @var{sequence} between the indices specified by
225 @code{:start} (inclusive) and @code{:end} (exclusive), is @var{object}.
226 It returns @var{sequence}.
