In the version of zwei on system 29.95 NWS, with microcode 669, on LISP Machine Eight:
Some suggestions for more operations and objects. Objects:
(a) As suggested before, a way to treat a lower-case-to-uppercase transition
as a word break, as in TEX and some PASCAL-like languages.
(b) Using a delimiter of the set of pairs [] "" `' <> {} || means
"an object delimited by that character and its mate".
(c) # means "a region delimted by a font change".
Operations:
(a) # = change font
(b) _ = underline
(c) Capitalize (unfortunately C now means copy -- how about Y for that, by analogy with C-Y?)
(d) Using a delimiter of the set of pairs [] "" `' <> {} || $$ means
"surround the object with that character and its mate", with default
arg -1 probably.
