new names (symbols) or more arguments to existing functions/macro s?

[Hoehle, Joerg-C. <Joe...@t-...>]

Sam,

I'm astonished: there are several postings of yours where you write that you prefer few function names with more keyword etc. arguments, yet for the ffi, instead of re-using ffi:c-lines for init/exit functions, you provide separate three names for rarely used functionality?!?

All these clutter the package export list, causing more conflict potential for people doing USE-PACKAGE.

I'd have used something along (ffi:c-lines :exit "~&to_call_on_exit();~%")
as once suggested.

When do you actually prefer what sort of interface?

Regards,
