* Package name : cl-named-readtables Version : 20180121.git985b162 Upstream Author : Gábor Melis <m...@retes.hu> * URL : https://github.com/melisgl/named-readtables * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: Common Lisp Description : Common Lisp library that creates namespaces for named readtables Named-Readtables is a library that provides a namespace for readtables akin to the already-existing namespace of packages in Common Lisp. In particular: - you can associate readtables with names, and retrieve readtables by names; - you can associate source files with readtable names, and be sure that the right readtable is active when compiling/loading the file; - similarly, your development environment now has a chance to automatically determine what readtable should be active while processing source forms on interactive commands. (E.g. think of `C-c C-c` in Slime (yet to be done)) It follows that Named-Readtables is a facility for using readtables in a localized way. Additionally, it also attempts to become a facility for using readtables in a modular way. In particular: - it provides a macro to specify the content of a readtable at a glance; - it makes it possible to use multiple inheritance between readtables. This package is a new dependency of cl-interpol. It will be maintained within the Debian Common Lisp Team.
