Another broken thing is rem, which goes into an infinite loop if given a table:

  arc> (rem t (obj a 1))
  user break

As a consequence, keep, trues, and union all hang on a table argument.

The problem here is 'coerce. 'rem attempts to coerce the object to a string, then coerce that string to a list, which it then passes to itself. however, coercing a table always returns a table. ^^
