What's the report function going to be for?

    I was coding the visual lisp ide, fleshing out a program when I discovered this function by accident.
    I was typing a setq statement and planned on calling the variable report_list
    As soon as I finished typing report, it turned blue.
    This was vanilla AutoCAD 2005, so I don't think it's a function instantiated by a vertical application or add-on.
    There wasn't anything on it in the Autolisp Reference, so I just plugged it at the command line to see what it would do.
    I half-expected it to say 'wrong number of arguments to a function, or something similar."
    Instead it kicked this message back:
    Error:Visual LISP does not currently support: (REPORT)
    Anybody have the inside tack on what it's going to be used for and when it will be instantiated?

    The report function is a very old pre-cursor to reactors that
    never saw the light of day. It only worked in pre-R13 DOS
    versions of AutoCAD.

    IOW, it's a dead issue.

    will be instantiated?
