re: At Lucid, we all seem to favor flushing #,. Who really wants it?
I do for one. We are using an equivalent of LOAD-TIME-VALUE in our
implementation of CLOS, and I see no reason to not make that feature
available to users.
You misunderstand. I was railing against #, -- not at all against the
"new-special-form" proposal, which I supported in a veiled way.
re: I thought that Pitman already did a good job of showing why #, is needed.
and I thought not; certainly the MacLisp experience with "squids" is
irrelevant to any modern Lisp.
