Like true-list-fix, the-true-list logically returns
its argument unchanged if that argument satisfies true-listp and
otherwise returns a corresponding ``fixed'' true list. Unlike
true-list-fix, the guard for (the-true-list x) is
(true-listp x), and (the-true-list x) evaluates immediately to
x in raw Lisp (see guards-and-evaluation for relevant
discussion).
