I still insist that we use either Darcs or subversion. I think Darcs may be better, but subversion is much more standard. A primary concern must be the each with which the average user, including the non-LISP expert, can extract our work. We are not so large a project that we have to optimize

[elephant-devel] Question about MOP

2007-03-30 Thread Ian Eslick
Is there a way to implement class keyword arguments in a metaclass? ensure-class-using-class will fail if it gets a keyword argument it doesn't recognize, but :around methods on that function for the class argument (eql nil) flags warnings or errors. Since the MOP doesn't know the class at

I tend to agree with Henrik for my own part. Despite the maturity of some of the lisp libraries, I have found myself needing to patch or tweak many of them at one point or another. Moreoever, if you asdf- install a version, find a problem, report it, then you can't receive a fix until anot
